experience of interacting with and learning from original works of art in a museum setting. The multi-

their classes for a visit to the Cannon Art Gallery; (2) a tour of the Gallery exhibition with an
artistleducator; and (3) a related hands-on art activity, led by another artistleducator. The children

galleries can be welcoming places to see and experience new and exciting ideas.

The cost for the 3 Three-Part-Art programs the City currently offers to Carlsbad schoolchildren is
approximately $30,000.
The Arts Office requests the Finance Director be authorized to appropriate the $10,000 into the
