Field Trips & Group Visits
A trip to the ‘museum that doesn’t act like a museum’ will have students eager to explore, learn, and create! We offer three group visit options that are sure to compliment your needs. You can bring your class to play and explore with all of our Museum exhibits and current traveling exhibit with the Museum Play Field Trip. Or you can come play in the Museum for an hour and have students take one of our art studio classes with the Art Studio Field Trip. To book either of these options please print out and fax our printable form. After submitting your request, our reservationist will contact you to confirm your reservation.
You can also book a trip with the Museum where we come to you! See right hand-column for details. To register for Art Studio Workshops at Your School please call our Arts In Focus staff at 503-471.9918 or email aif@portlandcm.org.
