Middle/High School
The Trout Gallery Education Program partners with local agencies and schools to provide area middle and high school students with programs based on a wide range of exhibitions. Programs are interdisciplinary, designed to teach visual analysis skills, and include large and small group discussion. All programs are free of charge and funds are available to pay for bus transportation (inquire when reserving). Teachers may request a specific approach to content based on the focus of a class. Examples of approaches include:
- Visual Literacy
- Art as Cultural Context
- Art as Conceptual Framework
- Art as Primary Text

Whispers of the Past, Visions of the Future: Art in Conversation
Weekdays February-April 6
6-12
Step into Whispers of The Past, an exhibition tour where the boundaries between past and present dissolve, and artworks and artifacts engage in a vibrant dialogue across centuries. This isn't just a viewing experience; it's an invitation to listen in on the fascinating conversations unfolding between contemporary visions and historical treasures. Imagine Andy Warhol whispering secrets to contemporary paintings of technology and media culture, or a Neolithic stone tools debating form and function with a contemporary sculpture about boyood. Whispers of The Past brings these imagined dialogues to life, exploring the surprising connections, intriguing contrasts, and shared human experiences that resonate across time.
