Art Education
LTA RESIDENCY
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
Learning Through Art (LTA) is the Guggenheim’s hallmark artist-in-residency program. The program sends experienced teaching artists into New York City public schools where they collaborate with classroom teachers to develop, facilitate, and integrate art projects into the school curriculum. During the twenty-week, in-school residencies, students throughout the five boroughs examine, discuss, and create works of art. Visits to the Guggenheim support the residencies, offering new insights into art and challenging students to think critically about art and ideas. At the end of the residency, selected student works are presented in the annual A Year with Children exhibition held at the Guggenheim Museum.
LTA was founded in 1970 by Natalie K. Lieberman in response to the elimination of art and music programs from New York City public schools. Over the past 52 years, LTA has served over 150,000 students from diverse economic and cultural backgrounds in all five boroughs of New York City.
