School Tours

Gadsden Arts invites educators to engage students in curriculum topics through art. Each school tour is led by an experienced docent and explores the galleries, teaching students to examine art critically. Exhibitions change quarterly so we recommend reviewing the current exhibitions before scheduling a tour. If you would like to schedule a school tour, please review the Frequently Asked Questions before contacting our Executive Director at 850-627-5020.

Please contact us for tour scheduling. Tour group capacity and mask requirements are subject to change with COVID-19 conditions.

Fall 2021 Resources

For the Fall of 2021, Gadsden Arts is delighted to present a series of exhibitions that celebrate the accomplishments of women artists: Four Centuries of Creativity: Women Artists and Senga Nengudi: A.C.Q. - Cross Eyed; A.C.Q. - Cross Ban; A.C.Q. - Cross Waves.

These exhibitions represent four centuries of art created by remarkable women who struggled against gender bias to take their places in history. In addition to learning about women's history, the role of women artists in the art world, and barriers they have faced, these exhibitions allow students to explore identity, emotion, and creative expression. 

Gadsden Arts uses inquiry-based touring techniques that encourage students to examine the meaning behind art, making connections to reading comprehension, and growing skills in critical thinking, creativity, and empathy.
