In addition to its School Tours, the Lynden Sculpture Garden offers a range of education programs for schools and youth groups serving children and youth aged 6 through 18.

Some of these programs are offered year-round, and others are seasonal. All of them are designed to make use of Lynden’s collection of outdoor sculpture to enhance understanding of art and design, and particularly the intersection of art and nature that is Lynden’s unique feature. Programs teach young people to interpret their visual experiences, develop perception and visual discrimination, and to use their imaginations and creativity to solve problems and create original works.

Education programs meet several of Wisconsin’s Model Academic Standards for Art and Design Education. Participating classroom teachers will receive worksheets that contain simple discussion, research, and writing suggestions to inspire cross-curricular learning as preparation for or follow-up to their chosen program.

Lynden Sculpture Garden Education Programs are underwritten in part by a generous donation from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation's Kopmeier Family Fund.
