Miles to MONA – Funding for your School Visit

Thanks to grants from the Theodore G. Baldwin Foundation and the Peter Kiewit Foundation, funding is available on a first come/first serve basis to offset transportation costs for a class visit. Schools are eligible to receive 100% funding, up to $250. To apply, please complete the form (to the right) and submit your request.

Learning Days – Enhancing your School Visit

A Learning Day experience is an excellent way for students to experience MONA in person through a cross-discipline, educational approach. Students participate in three activites: a studio art activity, a creative writing lesson, and an interactive Museum tour. Learning activities are especially designed for the students’ grade level and target specific exhibitions or selected artworks. Instructors have studio art, education, and/or docent training background.
Two-week advance notice is required; student number is limited. Cost is $125 for 3 activities and $100 for 2 activities. Limited funding is available to help offset the school’s costs.

Distance Learning - Take a Virtual Trip to MONA

Utilize the MONA collection and exhibitions conveniently in your classroom by taking a virtual trip to the Museum for a distance education lesson. Interact with knowledgeable docents and instructors as they connect various disciplines of study with art. Call for more information: (308) 865-8975, Jill Wicht, Director of Education.
