Group Visit Options

Due to the size of our galleries, and in order to maintain a quality educational experience, groups are limited to 50 people.

  • Guided Visits:
    Visits facilitated by our volunteer Plains Art Guides are usually one hour in length. Shorter or longer visits are also available, depending upon special requests, and/or the ages of the visitors. An exhibition-related studio experience can be scheduled to compliment the gallery experience. Group fees apply to groups of 8 or more and are as follows:

    • Students (preschool through college): $1 per student
    • Chaperones: free and responsible for student behavior. See Museum Visit Guidelines.
  • Self-Led Visits:
    Classes scheduled to visit with their teachers/instructors as their guides will be admitted FREE OF CHARGE.

Scholarships

Museum Visit Scholarships are available through an application process. Funding for the scholarships was donated by Mr. Middleton’s 1st and 2nd grade students at Washington Elementary School in Moorhead through the 2004 Service Learning Project.

Transportation

Fargo-Moorhead area classrooms are eligible for free transportation with Metro Area Transit. Call 701-232-7500 for more information.
