Tours

Learn More.

The OSU Urban Arts Space offers guided tours to K-12 students, university groups, people with disabilities and anyone else who might be interested.

A guided tour is a wonderful way for any group to engage with and learn more about our exhibitions and programming. Tours and exhibition admissions are always free.

If you would like to schedule a tour for your group, please contact us via email at uas@osu.edu or by telephone at (614) 292-8861. We ask that all tours are scheduled at least two weeks in advance.

Group Tours
Bring your community or university group for an engaging and thought-provoking tour of our current exhibition. We offer additional programming such as art making activities upon request.

K-12 School Tours
Our tours are interactive, in depth, tie into the Ohio Academic Content Standards and can include guided art making, writing exercises, and other interdisciplinary activities. In addition we offer preparatory educational materials for teachers to help establish a dialogue with your curriculum prior to the gallery visit. To learn more, visit our school engagement page.

Podcast Audio Tours
Starting February 17, 2009, audio tours will present the opportunity to learn more about an exhibition, or to take a self-guided tour of the space. You will be able to subscribe to our free audio podcasts for use on your mp3 player or you can borrow one of ours during your visit.

Themed tours are developed around the needs and interests of the participants and can focus on any aspect of the exhibitions, with appropriate touchable and visual materials to supplement descriptions and discussions.
