Founded in 2016 with a brief hiatus for COVID-19, 2024 buses are generously funded by the .
Our Bus to the Barrick program enables K-12 CCSD groups to visit the Barrick for free by providing fully funded CCSD buses. Students are transported from school to the museum where they take part in guided tours of the exhibitions followed by hands-on workshops. Interested teachers are encouraged to attend one of our Educator Nights periodically advertised on the Museum’s website, or contact CCSD Program Manager Cheryl Wagner at wagneca@nv.ccsd.net. We host a maximum of 50 students per group, with 1 chaperone required for every 10 students.
We all loved the artwork, and learned many new things about art, and the different perspectives that people can see art through. It was a very interesting experience for all of us. I never really took the time to think about what art represents and what different paintings and sculptures could mean, until yesterday. Visiting the museum opened my mind to new things. - Daija Shivers, Victoria Fertitta Middle School
If your CCSD school is unable to take part in the Bus to the Barrick program, you are welcome to book a free group tour and workshop - transportation will not be covered by the museum.
