SAMA on the Go
The San Antonio Museum of Art is dedicated to bringing art education to San Antonio schools. Through SAMA on the Go, Museum volunteers and educators guide interactive discussions on works of art that enhance the appreciation of art, make personal connections and lead classroom activities that encourage creative expression. This program is free to elementary and middle schools within the San Antonio city limits, though participants are encouraged to donate to help cover costs of supplies. Participating students will receive a Family Pass that provides free admission to the San Antonio Museum of Art!
