GUIDED TOURS
At the Kiyooka Ohe Arts Centre, nature is our gallery.
The goal of our guided tours of the KOAC Sculpture Park is to enrich the educational experience and make contemporary visual culture accessible.
Your tour will include the large-scale sculptures spread throughout the rolling, open fields, and the smaller-scale pieces situated in the private gardens and woods around the founders’ home. The tour will last 1 – 1.5 hours and will bring you into the KOAC world with history and anecdotes about each of the 20 pieces in the outdoor collection.
WHAT TO BRING:
As the tour is entirely outdoors, please dress appropriately for the weather, including water, sunscreen and bug spray if the weather is hot and sunny, and an umbrella or raincoat if things are not so sunny. The tour will take you through open fields and wooded paths so please wear comfortable and appropriate footwear.
If you would like to book a private tour for your family or group, please message us at info@koartscentre.org.
