Each element of the education program for children is designed to relate to the art collection. Classes, camps and workshops are often interdisciplinary in nature combining the visual, performing and literary aris. Finished class work is often displayed publicly inside surrounding office buildings, throughout the park or in The Madden Gallery. Class schedules and other education program information may be obtained by calling the office. Internships are available through local high schools and colleges.
Several students participate annually.
Volunteer Docents receive extensive and ongoing training that enables them to guide walking tours. In addition, MOA often forms partnerships with local music, dance and theatre groups to arrange free concerts in building lobbies or atriums. The major source of funding is acquired from a percentage of the net income from Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre. MOA hosts an occasional fundraising event and receives generous in-kind donations that relate to sculpture installation, landscaping and grounds maintenance. MOA began a membership program in 1994 and, by year's end, had 113 members.
