Most trips will include a guided, interactive tour with a summer intern for families to learn together about art. Additionally, each trip will include art-making activities. Art can be made all-summer long at the library, too, thanks to The Artist's Studio in the Library materials and spaces. There will be many special programs planned, check them out here.
Past field trip participants reported they had a fabulous time and were eager to return to further explore the museum's extraordinary collections. Thankfully, the Art Institute makes this especially easy by generously providing a free guest pass to every participating family for a return visit.
These programs are made possible in partnership with the Art Institute of Chicago, which has resources for families as they begin to plan a visit.
