The Arts & History Immersion Program (AHIP) Field Trips

Students on an AHIP Field Trip Outside the Bush Barn Art Center, 2018

THE ARTS & HISTORY IMMERSION PROGRAM (AHIP) FIELD TRIPS were an opportunity for 4th graders, in selected Title 1 schools in Marion, Polk and Yamhill counties to tour the Bush House Museum and Bush Barn Art Center.

Field trips include an educational tour of the 1878 Bush House Museum, and the chance to view an art exhibit and engage in relevant hands-on art activities at the Bush Barn Art Center. The activities are not only fun for students but help teachers enhance their curriculums by supporting state standards. For 75% of students, the Arts & History Immersion Program is their first visit to a history museum or an art gallery.
