"Creative, interactive play is key
to neurological growth and development."
The Arizona Museum for Youth
[AMY] is an
essential provider of art education fundamentals, as
well as, a center for creative play which is key to
neurological growth and development. AMY seeks to
instill a passion for lifelong learning in art and
art appreciation for all of its visitors including caregivers and children, adults and
teens. Here, everyone can learn about the techniques, processes, and
materials used to create art while discovering more
about themselves and their world through
self-expression, hands-on learning, and participant-centered programs.
We do this through
4 initiatives:
* Ensuring Accessibility
* Supporting the Arts in K-12 and Higher
Education
* Partnering with Community Organizations
* Enhancing Lifelong Learning
Through our dynamic array of programs,
exhibitions, and workshops, we invite you to join us
for an artful experience at AMY!
