Will you support the next generation of Erie’s youth by sponsoring our school tours program?

Support the Erie Art Museum’s school tours! By donating to this program, you and your firm gain all the benefits of sponsorship and the ability to impact local youth through education in the visual arts. 

Erie Art Museum tours build on youth’s natural curiosity and Pennsylvania state education standards. The Museum staff uses a variety of tours, storytelling, games, interpretation, and art-making to allow students opportunities to view and interact with art, increasing observational and critical thinking skills.

The Erie Art Museum’s school tours program for public schools are officially designated for receiving EITC funds. We are now accepting school tour reservations. All of our tour costs are subsidized by generous companies in the northwestern Pennsylvania region.

EITC funds allow the Museum to serve all students regardless of their ability to pay. 

Our EITC Program covers school tours from public school districts and their subsequent cyber, charter, magnet, and techincal schools in Erie, Crawford, and Warren counties.

To sponsor school tours through EITC, please email Laura Domencic - Executive Director, or call 814-459-5477.

To plan a school tour for your group, please contact Alex Anthes, Education Manager, alex.anthes@erieartmuseum.org or call the Museum at 814-459-5477. Please allow up to two weeks notice for planning a school tour with us.
