School and Youth Tours
Docent-led tours focus on connecting students with the Museum’s collections and special exhibitions. They inspire an understanding and appreciation of the visual arts. Students are encouraged to use critical thinking and viewing skills to connect with the art on view with their studies and their own life experiences. Tours must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance.
Student Exhibitions
The Tampa Museum of Art partners with the Hillsborough County Public Schools to present two annual exhibitions. Learn about opportunities for the display of student artwork in the Young at Art K-8 and 14th Congressional District and Next Generation High School exhibitions.
Teacher Discount and Previews
Teachers receive a discounted admission of $15 at TMA. When you check in at the front desk, please provide your school ID or proof of employment to receive your discount.
We also periodically offer Teacher Previews. This program, free for all teachers and school administrators, offers a look into our current and upcoming exhibitions and provides educators with a variety of resources. Be on the lookout for the announcement of our next Teacher Preview.

Drawing Inspiration
Starting in August 2025, TMA will be hosting a bi-monthly sketch club for local teachers. Every other month on the last Sunday, we’ll explore a different exhibition, spending the majority of our time sketching and a little bit of our time sharing. This is a chance to unwind and draw inspiration!
Free with admission, bring your own sketchbook (size 14” x 17” or under) and pencil (no charcoal, erasers and rulers are allowed).
All levels are welcome, but we have a capacity of 15 teachers. Please RSVP at danette.albino@tampamuseum.org.
Learning Resources
We have created and organized a variety of learning resources to support learning in and out of the classroom, including the Community Arts Initiative curriculum kit. To access our lesson plans, activities, and other learning materials, go to our Learning Resources page.
