The format is generally two 75-minute sessions with 1 or 2 classes in each session. The time can be extended to 2 hours and 45 minutes in length with a selected group. Each year Galaxy works with an artist or group of artists to develop a program specifically geared towards students with special needs. Performance field trips are coordinated with the Centre for the Performing Arts to see national touring groups, and with the School of Theatre Arts to experience performances by the University Resident Theatre Company. Students also benefit from the numerous exhibits available at the Palmer Museum of Art.
Galaxy arranges for several exhibits each year to tour interested schools.
Exhibits can be used as a springboard for creative writing and to further studies in a particular subject area. The Arts in Education Program of CIU 10 . All Rights Reserved. Artwork by Joe Servello. All Rights Reserved.
