The Steinbach Arts Council is excited to announce that we will be bringing back our school field trips in Fall 2022 for Grade 3 & 4 students!
Our half-a-day SAC Arts and Culture field trips are based on 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.
