Program Sponsorship

The Education Department is a vital link between the Montclair Art Museum and its diverse public, offering programs and publications for adults, children, families, students of all ages, teachers, bilingual visitors, visitors with disabilities and special needs, and museum professionals and scholars. MAM depends on contributions from individuals, foundations, corporations, and government agencies to offer its far-reaching Education and Outreach Programs.

Gifts to Education Angels not only support education and public programs, they also help assure adequate funding for exhibition related programs and lectures, school and teacher programs, and staffing for the education department.
