Welcome Teachers!

The Santa Paula Art Museum's ArtSPARK educational program ignites students' imaginations and opens the door to arts education and creative exploration. The Museum offers on-site school tours and arts-integrated curriculum. All ArtSPARK tours and resources are free of charge, and are designed to increase arts access in our local schools through engaging activities for students, and simple integration for teachers.

ArtSPARK is sponsored by California Arts Council, John Logan and Tommy Tonge, The Suzanne Arnstein Johnston “Another Beautiful Day to Excel” Fund, The Smith-Hobson Foundation Fund, and The Paul and Anne Leavens Family Fund.

ArtSPARK On-Site Museum Tours

During on-site museum tours, Museum Educators lead collaborative discussions, idea exchanges, and questioning strategies to encourage critical thinking, interpretation, and verbalization skills. Students will tour the Museum's current exhibitions, and participate in a fun and engaging hands-on art project to reinforce exhibit themes.

SPAM’s ArtSPARK School Tour Program is offered at no cost to schools. For more details and to request a school tour, please fill out the tour request form below. Once your information has been received, a Museum Educator will contact you to confirm the date and details of your tour.
