The Legacy of Alma Thomas

DC-based, and world-renowned artist and teacher Alma Thomas (1891–1978) used her life and her art to make the world a better, brighter, more beautiful place. Join DC-Project Zero and three fantastic museums—National Gallery of Art, National Museum of Women in the Arts, and The Phillips Collection—in celebrating Thomas’s legacy by exploring the ways in which her life and art can help us cultivate mindfulness, perspective-taking, and problem-solving in ourselves and in our learners.

This virtual teacher professional development program is free and open to all educators.
