FIRST FRIDAY ART TOURS
Join us on the first Friday of every month for a delightful way to wrap up your week. Meet at 11:00 a.m. in the Museum lobby for an introduction to a special exhibition. Then spend up to an hour touring the exhibition with a staff member or specially trained docent who will guide you through the gallery. Bring your friends or fellow club members for a memorable group event–ideal for senior groups. First Friday Tours are free, however, advanced registration is required, and exhibition admission fees apply. To register, please call 903-595-1001.

TMA/TISD SCHOOL TOUR PROGRAM
This special partnership, begun in 1976 between the Tyler Museum of Art and the Tyler Independent School District, enables all students from two elementary grade levels to come to the Museum for a tour and an exhibition-related art activity. During the school year, all students in TISD will have the opportunity to participate.

If your school or district is interested in arranging a similar type of program, please contact the Education Department.
