ProgramsPLAINS ART CASESThe Museum’s Art Case program is designed to provide art education resources to classrooms in our region that have little or no formal art education in place. Each case is packed with a miniature exhibition of works by regional artists and comes with an education guide that encourages classroom participation. The cases are loaned for free and educators pay no shipping fees.

MUSEUM VISITSEach year, about 10,000 people participate in gallery and studio experiences, led by Plains Art Museum Teaching Artists and our volunteer Plains Art Museum Guides. More than 5,000 of those visitors are Kindergarten through 5th grade students from area public and private schools, who enjoy a Gallery + Ceramics experience, which includes making art in our clay studio spaces in the Katherine Kilbourne Burgum Center for Creativity.

SCHOOL SPIRIT: YOUTH ART MONTHIn March, the Museum showcases the talents of Kindergarten through 12th grade art students from more than 40 schools to increase community awareness of regional arts programs and emphasize the value of the arts and self expression. The Museum also hosts an artists’ reception for young area artists and their families, an exciting gathering of about 1,100 people that includes performances from the Fargo Moorhead Area Youth Symphonies and art-making activities.

KID QUESTKid Quest is a free, family program, held the first Saturday of the month from October through April. The event draws around 200 children and family members each month, offering them the opportunity to explore art in the galleries and then participate in creating an art project together at the Katherine Kilbourne Burgum Center for Creativity. Xcel Energy is the primary sponsor, with additional support from Minnesota Public Radio.

CREATIVITY AMONG NATIVEAMERICAN ARTISTSCreativity Among Native American Artists involves Native American artists in programs and exhibitions at Plains Art Museum. It provides a Native American artist-in-residence program, engaging exhibitions, and multiple learning opportunities through workshops, artist talks, and professional development. In FY16, artists Laura Youngbird, Pat Kruse, Bud and Rona Johnston, and Keith BraveHeart served as artists-in-residence, and Native American exhibitions Julie Buffalohead: Coyote Dreams, Star Wallowing Bull: Transformer, Laura Youngbird: Common Thread, and the juried exhibition Emerging Visions captivated audiences.

STUDIO CLASSES Art-making classes for youth and adults offer opportunities for inquisitive people of all ages. Classes are held at the Katherine Kilbourne Burgum Center for Creativity, a multipurpose arts facility that also offers studio and exhibition space for learning, discussion, and display of creative work. Plains Art Museum’s studio programs focus on developing people’s potential for deeper learning and problem solving through 21st-century skills: creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication. The Bradley J. Burgum skybridge connects the original museum building with this 25,500 square foot expansion.

OPEN STUDIOMembers are invited to work on ceramic projects during Open Studio hours offered four days a week in the Katherine Kilbourne Burgum Center for Creativity, in an atmosphere where people can come together to work on projects–experimenting, collaborating, and encouraging fellow artists.
