Project Title: Education Morning School Tours for K-12 for the “Imagining Florida” exhibition
Project Description:

We respectfully request funding in support of our Education Morning school tour offerings for students K-12 through the run of “Imagining Florida”, an exhibition of statewide importance that explores Florida’s people, places, flora, and fauna through paintings, drawings, photographs, maps, and objects of material culture from significant collections nationwide and throughout our State.

“Imagining Florida” focuses on Florida’s own artistic heritage, from a wild and uncultivated land, to frontier and military outposts, to burgeoning cities and metropolitan areas. It celebrates Florida’s diversity, creative spirit, and artistic legacy, while encouraging a sense of unity and understanding. This is especially significant to be shared with our youngest citizens, as they will inherit the custody of our community and our State’s unique and fragile environs.

Throughout the exhibition (November 2018-March 2019), we anticipate fulfilling 160 K-12 school tours of 60 students each with programming themed to complement each grade’s curriculum with object-based learning. Students experience a docent-guided tour of the Museum to explore an artistic theme in detail. Approximately half of these tours will include an enriching hands-on art experience in which professional artists guide students through a studio workshop where they create their own work of art. Each touring class receives a pre and post survey and activity ideas to supplement their Museum visit. Education Morning school tours will take place Tuesday-Friday, providing 9,600 students with quality arts experience.

The BRMA is one of 25 institutions approved as a field trip provider by the Palm Beach County School District. Recently, the BRMA was recognized by the School District for its contributions to area students, teachers, staff, and families, and received the Gold Medalist Award for Outstanding Business Partner Not-For-Profit category.
