Wild Things Frequently Asked Questions

Who can go?

School groups from preschools through high schools, home school groups, clubs, extra-curricular organizations, community groups, and the general public are all welcome to this free exhibit.

Where is it?

Wild Things will be exhibited at the Cotuit Center for the Arts, 4404 Route 28 in Cotuit, Massachusetts. Please make all arrangements for visiting the exhibit through the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod; please do not contact the Cotuit Center for the Arts regarding Wild Things.   


So what happens when I bring my group to Wild Things?

Your group will have a guided tour of the current exhibit by a docent from the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod. A special mini-art library will be available to the groups. You may also arrange to have your group create art during your visit to the exhibit. 
  


What will we do at the exhibit?

The exhibit will present art work in a variety of media. Pre-scheduled groups will be assigned a docent, although the exhibit is designed to be self-paced and child-accessible without adult interpretation. The Arts Foundation of Cape Cod will be happy to work with faculty and group leaders to meet your goals for an enriching visit.

How much will it cost?

Wild Things is a free art exhibit. Thanks to the generous philanthropic support of our sponsors, all attendees will be welcomed to Wild Things at no charge. Please join us in thanking the Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation, Cape Cod Melody Tent and the Donald C. McGraw Foundation, Inc.



What about transportation?

We realize that transportation expenses can be prohibitive for many schools. To help cover the transportation costs associated with visiting Wild Things, schools may consider applying to their parent-teacher organization or for reimbursement for their travel expenses or to your Local Cultural Council. For more information about the LCC program, please visit www.massculturalcouncil.org/programs/lccgrants.asp. 



We also encourage you to take advantage of the Massachusetts Cultural Council’s Big Yellow School Bus grant program. These grants help schools meet the transportation costs of educational field trips to cultural institutions and events across the Commonwealth for their students. Now in its fourth year, Big Yellow School Bus has helped thousands of Massachusetts students take field trips to nonprofit cultural organizations across the Commonwealth. Students have visited more than 185 destinations, from large Boston-based venues to regional sites. Any Massachusetts school, preK-12, is eligible for a $200 grant to be used during the 2011-12 school year (one grant per school per year). Funding is limited, and grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information please visit www.massculturalcouncil.org/programs/bigyellow.asp.
