Student artwork is showcased in a special exhibition at the museum, celebrating creativity while providing young artists with valuable recognition and exhibition experience.

Each summer, children ages 5–14 can participate in AMSET's Summer ArtVentures Camp.

Multiple class options are available for different age groups, and registration opens each spring.
