School Visits
P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center is committed to offering easy and affordable ways for school groups to visit our exhibitions. Guided tours are available for teachers and K-12 students.
Artist-led Tour and Workshop: In this unique 2-hour program, groups are led through the exhibitions by a P.S.1 artist. The artist-guides have exhibited at P.S.1 in the past or are one of the museum’s artists-in-residence. Rather than reciting explanations and information, the artists highlight their own preferences and opinions, and, when relevant, make references to their own work and art-making strategies. The artists build engaging dialogues by encouraging tour participants to see and articulate personal associations they find with the work. Catered to each group’s needs and preferences, the focus and theme of the tours are determined by any interests the group may suggest and by the artist who best matches those interests. The walk-through is then followed by a more creative activity. Varying with the age and background of the group’s participants, the artists develop art-making activities that stress the importance of thinking and expressing oneself creatively. This unique opportunity to work closely with a working artist provides for a memorable visit to the museum’s exhibitions.
Reservations required. Available times are Wednesday through Sunday, 10am-6pm
Rate: $150 per group (maximum 30 students). P.S.1 is an approved Board of Education Vendor.

Self-Guided Tour: Groups are always welcome to visit the museum without hiring a guide. Print materials are available to assist in introducing the main ideas of the exhibitions. Groups with their own lecturer are also welcome. Admission is by voluntary donation. Groups visiting without a guide are encouraged to contribute the suggested amount. Self-guided tours are only available during regular museum hours.
