For Educators & Students

Free Tours

Teachers and school groups are welcome to visit the Museum during regular Museum hours. Discussion and activity-based group tours are available free of charge; please email education@camh.org at least ten days in advance of your visit. Teachers who plan self-guided tours should also call to confirm the exhibition schedule and to make sure that other large groups are not pre-scheduled. This is to ensure the safety of the artwork, as well as the maximum enjoyment of your group’s visit. You may also wish to ask the age-appropriateness of the exhibition, or how to adjust the tour to meet the specific needs of your classroom.

teacher resources

CAMH offers a variety of  Teacher Resources online and onsite. These resources consist of: a Teacher's Guide for Brown Foundation gallery exhibitions, a Project Supplement for Perspective exhibitions, and Teacher Development Workshops focused on bringing the interdisciplinary world of contemporary art into the classroom. All materials are related to current exhibitions on view at CAMH and are crafted to promote observation, analysis, and art making among elementary, middle, and high school students. For questions please contact Jamal Cyrus, Education Associate/Teen Council Coordinator at jcyrus@camh.org or 713 284 8274.

Teens

Many of the Museum’s events for teenage audiences are programmed by the Museum’s Teen Council (TC), a group of Houston area teens who work with the Museum staff to create events especially for their peers (and the young-at-heart). For upcoming events, check our calendar. TC accepts applications each spring for the following school year.
