BIMA is passionate about instilling a love and understanding of the arts and there’s no better way to get students looking at and talking about art than a fun-filled field trip to an art museum!

Pre-Field Trip School Visit

• BIMA’s inspiration starts before the field trip begins! BIMA educators come to your site and guide students in an overview, providing background information on the current exhibitions, expectations, and Q&A time.

Transportation to and from BIMA

• Many groups are eligible for subsidized transportation to and from the art museum. BIMA works with your district’s transportation department or assists with coordinating equivalent alternatives.

Guided Gallery Tour

• Trained docents use Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) to cultivate students’ observations and critical thinking skills. These open-ended questions spark curiosity and foster engagement.
• Brown Bag Lunch Break in the BIMA Classroom (optional)

Hands-On Art Activity in the Museum

• Practicing artists, with a special focus on education, guide students through a creative art project in the gallery.

Post-Field Trip Arts Integration

• Keep the learning going strong with a hands-on art activity led by a BIMA teaching artist in your classroom. (optional)

Field trips can be customized to your students’ learning needs or to support curricular connections.
