Program Overview

Student guides meet every Friday afternoon during the academic year to learn about the YCBA’s collections, develop an introductory tour based on their interests, and take trips to area museums, galleries, and artists’ studios. Returning student guides have an opportunity to purchase a work of art for the museum through the John F. O’Brien Acquisition Program. Applications are available in the summer for the upcoming academic year.
