Education

Adult, Senior and Youth education programs offer student workshops related to the exhibitions, lectures and film series and LUMA internships.

The "Push Pin Workshop" develops special hands-on projects for students in 2nd - 6th grades and the "Push Pin" art gallery displays student work produced in the workshops as well as other art work created in arts programs around the city. The Young Curators Project helps develop an understanding of how exhibition are conceived and fosters an understanding and appreciation of art through direct contact with study collections.

Mid-day lectures, films and concerts are open to the public and are either free or with a nominal charge.

Internships

LUMA's college internship program links a student course of study to museum programs. Our internships provide a direct experience in a smaller staff setting, so that students are able to interact with all departments to gain an introduction to how museums operate. A valuable credential for students wanting a career in the art world, our one or two semester long projects are matched to curatorial, administration, installation and design and art education. Interns are assigned a mentor from the LUMA staff to guide the student through the internship. For information, call 312-915-7604 or ameeha1@luc.edu.
