The Albany Institute offers workshops for teachers in conjunction with special exhibitions and our permanent collection. The content, format, and timing of these professional development workshops are flexible. Check out what’s new and upcoming that can help you use our collections in your classroom.
We can also design and implement teacher workshops to meet specific classroom needs. Sessions can occur at your site or at the museum. Topics can be broad, such as integrating objects and primary resources into the curriculum, or more specialized, focusing on a topic such as the art of the Hudson River School. Fees vary.
The Albany Institute is approved by the New York State Department of Education to sponsor CTLE activities.

Hi Raphel, thank you for your interest in the art kits! Yes, you absolutely can order multiple sets. We ask that if someone would like to make a large order (such as 10 or more) for a whole class that they get in touch with our Director of Art Programs, Sarah Clowe directly so we can ensure we have enough prepared in stock.
