While Art Gallery has participated in the annual Arts Day program for all Amherst County 5th graders, and gave tours of its exhibitions on-demand, its outreach program was not formalized until 1996, when the art gallery teamed with the Amherst County public schools to develop tours that would meet Standards of Learning objectives. Begun as "The Classical World in Virginia," the tour program has become an ongoing multi-disciplinary tour for 3rd graders.
