**As part of the preventative measures recommended to contain the COVID-19 outbreak, all upcoming programs at the Dedalus Foundation have been cancelled until further notice. During this time, the Dedalus Foundation will share an art making activity that can be done at home every Saturday. Click here for more info. (Updated March 2020)**

The Dedalus Foundation follows Robert Motherwell’s belief that exposure to the arts greatly benefits individuals of all ages. Accordingly, the Foundation’s Arts Education program involves a broad spectrum of educational initiatives, including the sponsorship of symposiums and lectures, community-based and other public programs, and the granting of scholarships and fellowships on several educational levels ranging from K-12 to university graduate school programs. The Foundation gives particular attention to promoting visual literacy for students on all levels, as well as for the general public. Most of the Foundation’s educational programs are operated at its facility at Industry City in the Sunset Park area of Brooklyn. Residents of Sunset Park receive priority for enrollment in all programs. Participants can join a number of Saturday programs including classes for families and children, portfolio preparation programs for middle and high school students, and studio hours for young adults. The Foundation also offers a number of summer arts programs for children and teens.

In addition to regular Saturday and summer programs, the Foundation’s recent educational initiatives have included classes for adult ESOL and HSE learners; staff development days for local educators; panels on art conservation; tours of our archives for college students; and a portfolio scholarship program for New York City High School seniors.
