SCHOOL & CAMP GROUPS

We are excited to offer both In-Person and Virtual Field Trips!  During these interactive programs, an Ogden Museum Docent will lead a participatory exploration of artwork from the Museum’s collection (all tours) and current special exhibitions (in-person tours only). We would be delighted to collaborate with teachers and group leaders to design tours exploring specific subjects, topics, artworks and themes. Two-week advance notice is needed for customized tours.

ADULTS

We would love to have your group tour Ogden Museum of Southern Art!  Guided docent tours are available to explore new exhibitions and artwork at the Museum in-person. Unable to visit the Museum?  Join us instead for a deep dive exploring the richness and diversity of Southern art and artists via a scheduled Zoom art talk. Museum Educator Sara Echaniz will facilitate an in-depth conversation highlighting art and artists from Ogden Museum’s collection.

“I love coming to the Ogden with my class. I have been doing it for years. I will be with a new school next year but still plan to bring those students. I think the best part is how age appropriate the experience is. You allow kids to still be kids and make the field trip interactive bringing each kind of painting to life. The program is so thoughtfully planned and I just love it so much. Thank you!” – KIPP Morial PK Teacher

“Our docent was phenomenal and so knowledgeable and personal! I loved his style and approach, and I appreciated that there was a specific plan in place to take them to certain pieces and still let them browse/wander in certain spaces.” – Teacher, Mt Carmel Academy
