Schedule of Classes for Children, Teens & Adults

In the event that Museum Academy classes or workshops are postponed due to inclement weather or other factors beyond our control, we will make every effort to make them up at the end of the session. During severe weather, the Huntsville Museum of Art’s Museum Academy schedule will follow that of the Huntsville City Schools: If the school system closes, the Museum Academy classes will also be postponed. The classes will then meet at their next regular scheduled time.
