    Wheels on the Bus

    We are a field trip destination for the United Arts Council’s Wheels on the Bus Fund. Wheels on the Bus grants provide funds to move one grade level per school per year at Wake County public elementary schools for field trips to area arts and cultural destinations. Title I schools are given priority as they have student populations with 40-80 percent of student bodies receiving free or reduced lunch assistance. Please visit their website to learn more and apply.

  • Dates + Activity Choice

    Please select your preferred date(s) and art-making activity. Field Trips + Guided Tours are scheduled on Wednesdays-Fridays from 11:00am-12:30pm. Field trips are not scheduled on the first week of each month due to our First Friday schedule. During this time, our exhibitions are in transition and unavailable. Please check your calendars to ensure you are not selecting a day that falls on the first week of each month. Artspace staff will do their best to accommodate your selections. Field trips must be scheduled at least 2 weeks prior to your visit.
