Group Visits & Tours
We welcome K-12 students, university/college students, and adult group visits to our Kala Gallery & Community Classroom, as well as limited tours to the Heinz Print Studio (teens and adults). Schedule a group visit to Kala at least two to four weeks in advance.
For School Groups: We offer guided tours plus an artmaking activity (field trip) for school and youth groups. We can accommodate up to 25-30 students, divided into two groups of students per school visit (depending on age group). Teaching artists lead students through a tour of a current exhibition, observing and discussing artworks, exploring themes, and developing critical thinking and visual literacy skills. Optional: After a gallery tour, participants can respond to their experience through guided art-making activities in the community classroom. The field trip cost is $20 per student including materials. Field trips are free for Alameda County public schools.
For Adult Groups: We offer limited guided tours for groups of adults or college students. Guided tours of our Kala Gallery, collections, and Heinz Print Studio are designed in response to group needs. Please note: Tours to our print studio are limited. Any requests must be at least two to four weeks in advance to schedule a tour. We will try to accommodate your request as best we can. Please contact Kala for more information on guided tour fees.
Donations for all adult groups are welcome and appreciated if that’s in your group’s budget: https://www.kala.org/support/donate/
We welcome self-guided tours for groups of adults or college students to our Kala Gallery but you must contact Kala Art Institute in advance if you plan to visit with a group of 10 or more folks. Please contact groupvisits@kala.org.
