Description
The Cultural Field Trips Fund provides opportunities for children at Title 1 schools in the City of Boulder to have direct experience with Boulder’s arts institutions and cultural destinations, while contributing to and reinforcing their classroom learning. Research has shown that early exposure to the arts results in continued engagement with the arts throughout a lifetime. The goals of the fund are to impact children in schools where there is the most need and increase the exposure of students to unique and memorable experiences that may shape their future in cultural participation, creative careers, and personal lives.
