Portland Children's Museum

The Portland Children’s Museum will expand its Arts in Focus program to provide arts education for Title I schools, Head Start, and other underserved education institutions in the Portland Tri-County area. The project will enable museum educators to train more than 100 teachers a year to integrate arts into the classroom curriculum. Museum educators will hold classroom residencies for over 2,100 pre-K through sixth-grade children each year to ensure they receive the arts education necessary for healthy cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. Museum educators will also provide teachers and classes with Traveling Trunks of art supplies to ensure that art is integrated into the classroom throughout the year.
