Other Programs

In addition to the robust schedule of classes that meet throughout the year at Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington, we offer other educational programs both on and off our site.

Enrichment Classes at Your School: MoCA Arlington offers a variety of enrichment classes at local elementary schools in Arlington and Alexandria. Contact education@mocaarlington.org if you are interested in enrichment programming for your school.

Private Art Instruction: MoCA Arlington offers students of all ages the opportunity to work one-on-one with our professional instructors. This opportunity allows you to develop an individualized plan designed to meet your personal artistic goals. If you are interested in private instruction, please contact our staff at education@mocaarlington.org.

Tuition Assistance: At MoCA Arlington, we believe that high-quality art education should be accessible to all. We strive to ensure that our tuition is competitively priced, but we understand that not everyone can afford MoCA Arlington’s tuition fees. Therefore, MoCA Arlington offers scholarships that can reduce tuition between 25 to 90% for qualified applicants. To apply, please complete our Tuition Assistance Form and return it to education@mocaarlington.org along with your most recent 1040 tax return so that MOCA Arlington staff can determine your eligibility. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. All members of a single family are potentially eligible to receive assistance, and students can register for one art class per semester with the reduced tuition.

Field Trips:

Visiting the Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington is a memorable learning experience for groups of all ages. MoCA Arlington offers a comprehensive field trip program, which caters to K-12 students and community groups. Groups will be guided through our contemporary art galleries and participate in a hands-on art workshop inspired by our current exhibitions on view.
