Pioneer Works offers guided tours to groups of eight or more throughout the year. Guided tours include general building and organization history and a walkthrough of the space, including a brief overview of current exhibitions. Group tours can be customized upon request in the areas of science, technology, music, or art exhibitions. Your group can also request studio visits with our artists-in-residence upon availability.

We offer 3rd-12th Red Hook youth a series of free hands-on and discussion-based workshops during exhibition tours.

Generous funding for school programs is provided by Nissan.

Education programs at Pioneer Works are also supported in part by New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in Partnership with the City Council and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
