Art Center of the Bluegrass

The Art Center of the Bluegrass will expand its free field trip program and provide arts education experiences to 2,750 elementary students in rural Central Kentucky. The Art Center will collaborate on the program with teachers and administrators of public elementary schools in Boyle, Mercer, Lincoln, and Garrard counties. Each 90-minute field trip will align with the Kentucky Education Standards for Arts and Humanities. During an initial gallery walk, a professional artist will explain the core concepts of the exhibit and invite students to share their opinions. Students will then create their own age- and skill-level-appropriate art in response to the exhibited artwork.
