The Programs series covers programs created by the Brooklyn Museum Art School to provide art instruction outside of the traditional coursework and student body. Some programs, such as the High School Program, were held at the school and occurred parallel to the regular curriculum while others, like the Prison Program, operated off-site and separately from the rest of the school. The art school's programs were designed to make art classes available to any interested parties in the community. The Children's Program included class visits, workshops, and youth classes. The Older Adult Program was designed to tailor instruction to an older audience. The Cultural Voucher Program provided the opportunity for schoolteachers to get credit for classes taken at the school. The Junior Year in New York Program attracted students from other schools around the country to study at the Brooklyn Museum Art School.Programs that were held off-site were designed to take art instruction to those who were unable to physically attend classes at the school. These were the St. Mary's Methadone Maintenance Program and the Prison program, which taught prisoners at the Brooklyn House of Detention and Riker's Island from 1970 to 1977. These programs were grant-funded and offered courses via small satellite schools for non-traditional students. Other records in this series relate to special events and programs such as the Subway Project, where Brooklyn Museum Art School students improved subway stations with fresh paint, murals, and sculpture. Other programs included the Visiting Artists Program, workshops, and the Seminar on Art in New York.
