The Arts & History Immersion Program (AHIP) Field Trips
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. Students enjoyed the director’s presentation at the Museum, which focused on early Oregon history, followed with an opportunity to see the furnished house completed in 1878. Following this tour, students visited the Bush Barn Art Center where they viewed contemporary art and were engaged in a hands-on art project. Due to the COVID-19 health crisis, this program has pivoted to an online resource.

The AHIP Virtual Field Trips are now an online opportunity for teachers and students to visit the Bush House Museum, view contemporary artwork and enjoy a hands-on art activity from their classroom or home. Along with the videos AHIP Tour Part 1 & AHIP Tour Part 2, there is a Teaching Artist Video and several Contemporary Oregon Artists Videos featuring Salem Artists. Additional Educational Resources may be found at Student Resources.
