The Arab American National Museum, the new home of ACCESS' Cultural Arts Program, strives to foster a better understanding and appreciation for Arab and Arab American culture through education and presentation of the arts. We offer museum tours as well as a wide variety of workshops, seminars, and cultural events that showcase the richness and diversity of Arab civilization and acknowledge the contributions Arab Americans have made to our life across the nation.
Seminars and WorkshopsThe Museum's educational programming includes 2-hour presentations, all-day and half-day workshops, individual and group consultations, and museum tours. Supported by our permanent and temporary exhibits and a rich assortment of educational materials, our programming has been helping educators develop the cultural competency they need to understand and communicate effectively, especially when dealing with students and parents of Arab and Chaldean descent. In addition, in collaboration with other professionals including university professors, counselors, and religious leaders, the Museum’s staff has developed presentation formats suitable for community organizations, businesses, public and private agencies, corporations and health care professionals.
