The Steinbach Arts Council is excited to announce that we will be bringing back our school field trips in Fall 2022 for Elementary and Middle School students!
Our half-a-day SAC Arts and Culture field trips provide field trips that are based on the Manitoba curriculum designed to expose students to various forms of visual art, theatre, music, and more. SAC Arts and Culture field trips are about bringing schools and the community together while providing a fresh new atmosphere where students can learn. Give your students access to professional art and dance studios for your next field trip!
SAC looks forward to working with the teachers and students in our community to create fun and educational experiences that our students won’t forget.
About Our Fieldtrips
What’s included in the field trip?
Our field trip includes a tour of our hall gallery with a tour guide, the decided upon skilled clinicians/workshops, and the supplies needed for the workshops. The Steinbach Arts Council will also work closely with the teacher hosting the field trip to make connections to the curriculum being taught in their class.
What workshops can I choose from?
The Steinbach Arts Council offers workshops in visual arts, drama, music, and dance. The teacher will be able to pick 1 or 2 workshops that they believe will suit their class best. The workshops will be taught by professionals that are currently working in their field to make sure that your students get quality instruction.
How long are the field trips?
Our field trips are typically half a school day long that would take place before or after their lunch (about 2-3 hours).
Where will the field trip take place?
The field trips will take place at the Steinbach Cultural Arts Centre at 304 Second Street, Steinbach. Your class will have access to our professional studios and Hall Gallery.
