Here is the information for the Indianapolis Art Center's tours:



1.  What fees are charged for student tours?
$2.50/student (min 10) for a 45-min tour. Chaperones required, but are free
of charge.

2.  Are there additional fees for hands on activities or guides/docents?
If a hands-on program is included the fee increases to $6.50/student.  For a
studio demo plus tour, the fee is $2.50/student plus a flat $50 for the
demonstrator (about a 1/2 hr. demo).

3.  Are there any instances where school groups would receive discounts or
free admission?
If underwriting has been received for tour programming related to a specific
exhibition, the tour would be free.

4.  How many school tours (total student attendance)are done in a year?
Depends on the year:  generally we get about 2/month unless we have
specially solicited tours for a given program or exhibition.  Total student
attendance averages about 500 per year.

5.  How many commercial tours (total attendance) are done in a year?
Not many--maybe 100 people or so.

6.  How many guides/docents are available?
About 8-10 total, varies by day.

7.  Who takes the calls for school tours (education department or
otherwise)?
Director of Exhibitions and Artist Services

8.  What are this person's hours?
M-F 8:30-5:30

9.  How do you label the phone tree/website so that school groups know whom
to speak with versus
commercial tours, etc.?
We are a very small organization:  all tours that don't require rental of a
space get passed to the Director of Exhibitions and Artist Services.  Tours
that require rental of a space go to the Special Events Manager.

10.  Who is responsible for docent training/scheduling (education department
or otherwise)?
Exhibitions Department



Hope this helps!
