Museum Student Guide Program

Our Student Guide Program presents a unique opportunity for FAC museum patrons to engage with current Colorado College students in dialogue about the exhibitions and artwork. Student Guides understand the variety of tools available to visitors that lead to deeper understanding of art and artists, and connect visitors with these tools to enhance their experience.  Student Guides are there to support your exploration of art and might share an interactive activity while you tour the galleries, using inquiry-based art cards, visual analysis games (e.g., scavenger hunts and dice) and exhibition-related creative projects (e.g., community loom, zine-making, and collage-making). Find them in the t-shirts that say, “Let’s talk!”
