Our tour guides are trained to facilitate conversations and make looking at art fun! Your group will be led through a current art exhibit. Scavenger hunts, exploration games, interactive discussions and hands on samples keep children engaged with the artwork in the gallery. 

Tour themes vary with rotating exhibits and can be catered to match specific classroom subjects.

Exhibits at the Dahl strive to engage the public in isssues and ideas that affect our communities as expressed by contemporary art. Click here for our full tour brochure.

$2 / student per hour for guided tour

Kids love making art! Let us help you meet state standards with hands-on projects that include the elements and principles of art and include lessons in art history.

Projects reflect artistic processes and style of the art exhibit toured. Look, discuss, do...a well rounded learning experience.

Connect art, history and the American experience with a class visit to the Cyclorama Mural. A light audio narrative program engages kids with the story behind the art. Please allow at least 10 minutes to include this in your visit.  Click here for more information about the cyclorama mural.
