Artistic Extensions for College/University and Adult Group Rates

In addition to group tours, a program add-on can accompany your group tour experience. Program add-ons are supplements to a general exhibit tour experience and are great ways to connect with the CAM’s collection and temporary exhibits.  Each extension program extends your visit and is subject to availability at the requested time. 

Program extensions are as follows:

Art History Talk:

Dive into the rich history of artistic movements and artists with an Art History Talk. Explore the CAM’s permanent gallery and learn more about art from the 19th century until now with a vibrant Art History Talk.

Special Exhibitions Talk:

Explore an exhibition with the Curator in this intimate and rich conversation about an artist and the process of curating a quality exhibition. The Curator will lead you through the featured exhibition space and discuss the history of the artist, impact, and meaning of artwork. 

Art Making:

You become the artist by creating simple artworks, influenced by pieces on display and artistic styles. These fun craft projects will complement tours for students and will allow them to take home a lasting memory of the CAM.

Art Workshop:

Create with our professional art educators to create and refine your artistic skills through works inspired by our exhibitions. This program will allow guests to explore their own artistic abilities through more in-depth art-making instruction.
