Free Teacher Resources

To support teachers in our community, SPAM educators have created tons of free online resources that bring the art museum experience into the classroom. Teachers can take advantage of ready-made virtual tours, arts-integrated lesson plans, art project video tutorials, and much more. It’s all accessible on our website! The Museum’s ArtSPARK education program is sponsored by The Allan Atmore Family, Bank of the Sierra, and The Paul and Anne Leavens Family Fund.
