2023-2024 APRENDE SCHOOL TOURS & WORKSHOP PROGRAM

Thank you for your interest in MOLAA’s interpretive programming! We offer both in-person and virtual experiences. Our most popular offering for K-12 school groups is our in-person tour and workshop combo, which includes an engaging, one-hour docent-led tour and discussion of our galleries. Following your tour, you are welcome to join us for a hands-on art workshop based on the current exhibitions.

Pricing for this package is $12.00 per student and one chaperone for every 10 children under 18 gains admission free of charge. We typically book Tuesday through Friday at 10AM, 12PM, or 2PM. However, we have scholarships available to offset these costs, so please inquire at tours@molaa.org for eligibility. School tours are typically on hiatus for the month of July due to Summer Camp programming.

During the Fall term, exhibits you would explore onsite would include:

1. Alexandre Arrechea: A contemporary Cuban artist based between Spain and Miami for more than two decades, Alex was the former co-founder of the Los Carpinteros collective. In this exhibit, Alex’s method of transgressing the limits of traditional artifacts and materials as a point of examination is redefined as a social and political exploration that melds art, history, and archaeological forms of knowledge production.

2. Paola Vega: A renowned Argentinian artist, Vega participated in intensive artist workshops with the likes of Marina De Caro, Diana Aisenberg, and Gumier Maier, between 2003 and 2004, in Bahía Blanca.
