excursions

This is a place to share ideas about good excursions for the arts

Studio Art

[|ACCA] The Australian Centre for Contemporary Art generally has really interesting exhibitions. They have an education officer and can sometimes offer a free bus service to schools in the outer eastern suburbs.

[|Gallery 101] Gallery 101 is a commercial gallery located in 101 Collins st. In the past the curatorial staff have been more than happy to talk to students about the role of the curator and the different types of galleries.

[|Linden Centre for Contemporary Arts] Linden is located on Acland street St Kilda. The Linden Postcard show is a very highly regarded competition. The staff there have been helpful and have arranged to open the gallery early so that the students can view the show without disruption.

[|NGV] Of course Top Arts is an excellent exhibition to take students to (as are all the other exhibitions on at the NGV throughout the year!!)

[|VCA] In the past I've taken students for a guided tour of the Victorian College of the Arts painting studios. Students have loved it and been inspired by this excursion.

Buses

[|US Buslines] We tend to use US Buslines

If there are other schools who have small classes that cant quite fill a bus, perhaps we could share buses?
