The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum Art & Leadership Program was founded in 1998 to facilitate the development of self-confidence, self-esteem, leadership skills, and self-expression in middle school girls. Today, the Art & Leadership Program is gender inclusive, providing a more diverse, well-rounded, and comprehensive experience to all participants.  

The Art & Leadership Program focuses on the exploration of creativity through art-making, theater, music, creative writing, and self-expression.

Participants learn collectively with a focus on independent thinking, building self-esteem, and strengthening self-respect. Professional Museum staff, program leaders, interns, and teaching artists experienced in art education lead the program and serve as role models, offering children an oasis of positive support and encouragement. Together, they can better learn about moving past preconceived notions and growing into young adults who are comfortable and confident in their self-expression.     

The program’s main initiative is to foster young artists through creativity, leadership skills, self-confidence, self-expression, and identity development.
