Learning Through Art is an educational program of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum . LTA pairs practicing artists with participating public elementary school classrooms throughout the five boroughs of New York City . These resident artists spend one day a week for a period of 10 or 20 weeks working with classroom instructors to create and execute an art curriculum for the students that ties in with current Guggenheim exhibitions and supports the core curriculum learning inside of the classroom. Participating classrooms visit the Guggenheim multiple times throughout the duration of their program, and student artwork is shown in a culminating exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in their annual A Year With Children showcase.
