In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, SITE Santa Fe began developing and distributing distance learning activity kits and curriculums, as well as virtual classroom visits. SITE Santa Fe’s Distance Learning Program offers free set educational tools, including workbooks for elementary, middle, and high school students, as well as art activities and videos.
Workbooks:
With a workbook for each of the artists in Displaced: Contemporary Artists Confront the Global Refugee Crisis, these distance learning resources explore topics such as art, geography, history, social studies, and more as they relate to the artists and artwork in the exhibition.
