When TMA was established in 1901, its founders envisioned an institution that would enhance the community with art and art education.
The busiest city on earth is fast asleep unless it is doing something towards the higher education of its people.
As George Stevens, the Museum’s second director, wrote, “The busiest city on earth is fast asleep unless it is doing something towards the higher education of its people.” Remaining true to its founders’ vision, the Museum today offers extensive art education opportunities for everyone: Children, teens, and adults. Students and scholars. Educators, readers, and doers. Those with a general interest in art, and those with a passion for a particular movement, medium, era, or artist.
Opportunities include classes and workshops, tours, gallery experiences, hands-on activities, a Resource Center for Educators, a partnership with the University of Toledo Department of Art, and a 90,000-volume art Reference Library.
