Seeing my students engaged and react to contemporary art that they can relate to creates a life-long memory for them (and me) that has an impact on them far beyond their class experiences!
Thank you for considering the CAC as a trusted partner for community-based learning!
Unlock your students' curiosity and explore the dynamic world of contemporary art with our interactive gallery tours and immersive UnMuseum experiences. Offering a hands-on, multi-sensory journey that inspires creativity and critical thinking using an inquiry-based approach, tours engage students and educators alike by drawing from relatable issues and experiences of everyday life. Education staff and docents work with teachers to design tours that are age appropriate and fulfill learning goals and needs.
Please contact the education department at least four weeks in advance with a few dates in mind to schedule a tour. When ready, email tours@cincycac.org or fill out a group tours form to schedule.
Important: an email or completed tour request form is a first point of contact and does not guarantee or complete the reservation process.
