School Visits
Waterfall Arts has the honor of working with Waldo County public schools to support their arts programs and bolster their visual arts offerings with enrichment opportunities.
Gallery and Studio Field Trips
We can accommodate groups of up to 25 children and their chaperones.
A 1.5-hour visit includes :
- A tour of the art center
- A gallery exploration and discussion
- A hands-on activity in the Community Studio
Waldo County public school groups can book an event for free. We can only accommodate groups of up to 25 children and their chaperones.
A tour includes our gallery, print studio, ceramic studio, darkroom, and glassblowing studio and is approximately 30-40min. Additional activities are available, please see our booking form below for more information. Private schools, homeschools or organizations outside Waldo County can book a free tour or a tour and activity for a $15-$50 fee.
We also offer tours in our Glassworks Studio and specialized experiences for students over age 12 in our glassblowing studio. If your group wishes to create something to take home (objects must cool down overnight and can be picked up anytime the following day or can be shipped by our staff), an additional fee starting at $50 per student (depending on items created) will be assessed.

Accessibility: We are not an ADA accessible building. However, our gallery is on the first floor of the building. Depending on the exhibit and our calendar, we may be able to run an activity in the gallery.
