MUSEUM EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND TOURS

 

Year Round Focus
Let your students experience our new, year-round, sequential, standards-based curriculum for tours and hands-on art lessons for K – 12 students derived from the exhibited art.  This new approach promotes multiple visits and allows students to gain knowledge and skills throughout the year.

Special for Teachers: present your school ID at the museum for free admission every 1st Saturday of the month.

Exhibition Tours 
Come enjoy 50 minute interactive tours led by docents trained in the Visual Thinking Strategies.  During the tour, visitors will be engaged in a dialogue with their peers on their thoughts and discoveries of the artworks on display. 

Hands-on Art for Classes
Give your students a hands-on experience in the Center’s art studio.  Students will work on a grade-appropriate art project based on exhibited artwork that addresses specific California VAPA Standards.  Pair an art project with a museum tour for added benefit.

Museum tours: $15 per class (20 students max), one adult admitted free per ten students, additional adults pay $5 per person. 

Hands-on art projects: $2 per student.
