Educators are invited to explore their creativity and get ideas for sharing the work of featured artists with their students in our Educators’ Workshops. These programs are offered on a quarterly basis, and CTLE credit is available. We also offer an annual educators’ night out filled with art, networking, and fun!  

In addition to our scheduled workshops, we can create customized and interactive workshops for in-service days. We can also provide guided tours as part of professional development. For more information and availability, please email lkranz@buffaloakg.org
