Boys & Girls Club Tour the Modern West

Throughout the year, children from the local Boys & Girls Club and Hands of Christ After School Programs frequent the Booth Western Art Museum. Staff members from the Museum provide guided tours for the children and use the Museum’s collection to inspire them both about art and the American West.

This week, the outreach program brought students from the Boys & Girls Club to the Booth Museum. The students participated in the Cowboys, Indians and Art tour, which mostly took place in the new Modern West gallery. Designed for young art lovers, this hands-on program introduces children to basic art concepts such as line, shape and color while enhancing their observation skills through developmentally appropriate activities designed around the Museum’s collection.
