The Public Programs collection primarily consists of catalogs, brochures, and program materials from Art Center at Night, Art Center for Kids, Art Center for Teens, Summer Institute for Teachers, and other programs. The administrative files in Series 1 contain reports and planning records from David Walker, Director Public Programs (1996-2007).

Note that photographs from Public Programs exist in the Photograph collection. A CD of images from Summer Institute of Teachers was removed from this material and moved to the Photograph collection.

The Design-Based Learning (DBL) Lab is a community resource for teachers, principals, parents and others involved in educating K-12 students. At the Lab, educators are taught in all subjects and grade levels the Design-Based Learning methodology, which taps students’ natural creativity to develop higher-level thinking and enhance comprehension of the K-12 curriculum. In addition to year-round professional development courses and workshops, the Lab has hosted lectures and events exploring such topics as the relationship between classroom design and student academic performance.

This series consists of program materials for the Summer Institute for Teachers, which is part of the DBL. The Summer Institute for Teachers is a five-day, intensive program in this time-tested methodology. Its goal is to tap students’ natural creativity to develop higher-level thinking and enhance comprehension of the K–12 curriculum.

This series consists of other program and events that fall outside of the programs in the other series. These were either short-lived programs or one-time events.

These Library records were created by Elizabeth Galloway, Library Director from 1979 to 2013. The collection includes memos, minutes, reports, and surveys, which document the activity of the Library Director as well as Art Center. The bulk of the material was collected by Galloway rather than generated by her, and documents Art Center's administration generally more than the administration of the Library specifically. The David R. Brown files include memos sent by Galloway to Brown, memos from Brown to Galloway and to the Vice Presidents, and memos to and from the Board of Trustees. Additionally, minutes of the Curriculum Committee, minutes of the Vice Presidents meetings, minutes and correspondence of the Library Advisory Board, and minutes and newsletters of the Student Government all document planning and changes in the way Art Center operated from the mid 1980s to 2001. A draft of the Leon Whiteson history of Art Center includes Galloway's notes and corrections. Various reports from departments within the school, including enrollment statistics (for international students, Art Center at Night, and Saturday High) as well as independent consultants' reports, add further insight.

The files in the Library Administration series contain information about planning and statistics related to the library. Of special note are the files on the library at Art Center (Europe).

The bulk of the Correspondence series are David R. Brown files which include memos sent by Galloway to Brown, memos from Brown to Galloway and to the Vice Presidents, and memos to and from the Board of Trustees.

The Committees series contains minutes of the Curriculum Committee, minutes of the Vice Presidents meetings, and minutes and newsletters of the Student Government which document planning and changes in the way Art Center operated from the mid 1980s to 2001.
