Calling all Educators - Reserve Your Field Trip Now
Looking for a free, fun, enriching, and unique
art experience for your students this year? Join us for FIRST THINGS
FIRST this January at the Cotuit
Center for the Arts!
FIRST THINGS FIRST will feature the works of more than fifty well-known Cape Cod artists, as they explore what is most important
to them. This unique, free exhibit will introduce kids to the work of
established artists from Cape Cod, while
encouraging their own creativity through engaging educational activities during
their visit. Keeping younger arts patrons in mind, art work will be displayed
at a height of 4 feet throughout the exhibit - right at children's eye level -
and a docent will be assigned to each group that schedules a visit.
FIRST THINGS FIRST will be on display January 9 - February 6, 2010 at
the Cotuit Center for the Arts. Based on
advance bookings for school visits and the popularity of previously presented
exhibits, ROYGBIV, Self Portrait Cape Cod and When We Were
Younger, we anticipate high demand again in 2010. School visits will be
welcomed throughout the month-long exhibit, but availability is limited and
tends to fill up quickly, so please reserve your date as soon as possible to
avoid disappointment.
For more information about the exhibit, or to schedule your group trip, please
email cmacort@artsfoundation.org, call 508-362-0066 ext. 13 or visit www.artsfoundation.org/first-things-first.
Note: All scheduling of student group visits and
any additional information will be provided by the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod;

Center for the Arts for

Foundation and supported by the Donald C. McGraw Foundation, Inc. and Cape Cod
