Overview
How does the Fleming expand the classroom experience?
Decades of research show that engaging with art strengthens observation, sparks curiosity, and helps us make connections across ideas, cultures, and lived experiences. As UVM's art museum, the Fleming puts those insights into practice every day through exhibitions, collections, and programs that invite learning across disciplines.
We collaborate with faculty, students, and other members of the campus community to design multimodal learning experiences. Activities such as close looking, research, group tours, moving through galleries, and collaborative interpretation engage both bodies and minds and complement classroom learning across the University’s campus.

Class Visit
Faculty and students visit our exhibitions and collections galleries as part of their curriculum across various disciplines. As an extension of the classroom, learners transform abstract ideas into tangible experiences and practice observation, contextualization, source comparison, and reasoning.

Learning Studio
The Learning Studio is where faculty and students can gain a closer look at works in our collections which are not currently on view in the galleries. Up to 10 works may be pulled and placed for temporary viewing. The Learning Studio can accommodate up to 20 students at a time.

Asynchronous Assignments
Faculty can also assign students to visit individually or in small groups to put classroom learning into practice. From extra credit assignments to semester-long projects, this asynchronous option allows for greater flexibility to add an experiential learning opportunity into your curriculum.
