The mission of the Hockaday Museum's Education Program is to unveil Art's intrinsic power to vitalize every aspect of lifelong learning and life experience; and to demonstrate this by engaging students directly with Art in every available aspect.
Art transcends time and place; Art integrates multiple skills; Art is source and product; Art is our very own creation, a reflection of and testament to all that we are. Art belongs to everyone.
