FREE K-12 School Tours with a Gallery Guide

The Gallery and BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York are delighted to present Art'scool, a new and exciting school tour program designed to create the critical and creative thinkers of tomorrow.

Educators can bring their students for a one-time introductory tour, or choose the two-visit program for a more in-depth view of the museum and a curriculum-focused selection. All guided school tours are free and include a transportation subsidy, and are guided by a specially trained docent.

Reservations must be made by the twenty-first of the month prior to the month you would like to visit. (For example, reservations must be made by October 21 for a November tour.) Space is limited; we encourage you to request your dates as early as possible.

For more information, please call 716.270.8226 or email grouptours@albrightknox.org. Communication by e-mail is preferred, and will facilitate a timely response.
