We learn best through a three-dimensional experience, we learn faster and deeper from the experience of being in the space.

-Jack Lenor Larsen (1927–2020)

Education and engagement programs at LongHouse aim to inspire and motivate life-long learning, creativity, innovation, and wellbeing through inventive experiences with the collections and gardens of LongHouse Reserve. In addition to exhibition-related programs, talks, wellness opportunities, and hands-on learning and making experiences for all ages, we offer Educational Tours, Internships, Scholarships, community service opportunities, and creative learning resources. LongHouse encourages and expands imagination, creativity, and appreciation through the experience and exploration of art, design, craft, performance, and nature interwoven to create an integrated environment, an inviting and dynamic “museum without walls” that nurtures creative learning and living.
