Cost and Trip Booking
Book your trip well in advance some exhibition tours fill up quickly. There may be a school fee imposed depending on the exhibition

General Summary
The Mackenzie Art Gallery can accommodate K- 12 tours. Tours are approximately 1 1/2 hrs in length and include a tour of the exhibition and an art activity for students to enjoy. The class will be split into two groups and assigned a guide that will lead you through the gallery. Each group requires at least 1 chaperone.

I planned my field trip and lessons around Saskatchewan First Nations artist Allen Sapp. The MacKenzie Art Gallery has several of his paintings in their permanent collection.
