Bringing Art to Your Community!
ArtBus is an Outreach program geared toward underserved populations in the Indianapolis area. The program offers an interactive field trip for groups of up to 15 youths and provides students an opportunity to engage with and learn about art in their community.
Students will participate in a unique, high-quality, material-themed art-making lesson, created and led by one of our qualified teaching artists, and held in a professional art studio. ArtBus groups will also experience an interactive guided tour through our current exhibitions or one of our theme-related studio spaces.
