Field trip in AcA’s Main Gallery
LAFAYETTE, LA – February 20, 2024 – Thanks to the Arts Experiences for All program, more than 2,000 5th grade students will participate in museum visits at either Acadiana Center for the Arts or Hilliard Art Museum in the coming weeks.
Between February 20 and March 7, these 2,000 students will be led on guided museum tours and participate in both a visual arts activity and a creative writing activity. Museum tours will be led by the Education staff at each organization, and the art and writing activities will be led by Acadiana Center for the Arts’ teaching artists.
AcA’s teaching artists are professional artists from across Acadiana who share their talents, while also teaching a core subject area like Science, Math, Social Studies, or English Language Arts.
Museum tours have been designed with these students in mind and will focus on such topics as the inspiration process for artists, storytelling through poetry and painting, and how creating intuitive art allows the creative process to unfold naturally and embracing the process rather than focusing solely on the product.
This program is supported in part by a generous donation from Home Bank, presenting sponsor of the Museum & Creative Writing Experience.
Arts Experiences for All is a partnership between Lafayette Parish School System, Acadiana Center for the Arts, Hilliard Art Museum, Acadiana Symphony Orchestra, and Performing Arts Serving Acadiana. Through this program, every Pre-K through 8th grade student will have an off-campus experience in all art forms – visual arts, performing arts, and creative writing.
