The Riffe Gallery’s Education Program seeks to increase public appreciation and understanding of the gallery's exhibitions.

Below are photos from the Riffe Gallery's August 10, 2008, family workshop: Painting with a Point! Children and their adult companions were invited to create an original painting using pointillism with the Riffe Gallery staff. Participants used tiny dots of color rather than broad brush strokes to create an impressionist-style painting.
