The Interpreting Art Program (IAP) is the Bronx Museum’s chief service to schools and community groups, providing both analytical and hands-on interactive experiences with contemporary art. IAP sessions are based on viewer participation, and its goal is to foster visual literacy in audiences. By encouraging the participants’ response, IAP aims to develop critical thinking and communication skills. IAP features the following options:
IAP TOUR

Group discussions led by experienced Museum educators introduce participants to contemporary art while enhancing critical thinking and communications skills.
