Field Trips and Guided Visits

Bring your class to the Springville Museum of Art for an inspiring and interactive visit! We provide guided visits, pre-visit lesson plans, and subsidized bus transport to qualified schools. All tours must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance. Contact Colette Burton at CBurton@springville.org or 801-491-5707 with any questions.

Virtual Tours

The Springville Museum of Art now offers virtual field trips for school groups of all ages. These interactive virtual experiences allow visitors and students to navigate the galleries, click on artworks they are interested in, see artworks close up, and read label information.  Choose between a self-guided option or book a live Zoom session with one of our educators. Questions? Email Peyton Richards at PDRichards@springville.org.

Art Talks

Our Museum's Outreach Educators will come to your school and provide interactive classes for students, training for teachers, and materials for classroom use. Interested in booking? Contact Caley Abilez by phone 801-491-5709 OR email CAbilez@Springville.org.
