Field Trip Opportunities
The Red Stick festival offers exciting field trip opportunities for school groups and discounted learning opportunities for educators, offering special lectures and film screenings geared toward K-12 students’ interests. This year, we will welcome school groups on Thursday, November 11 and Friday, November 12. All lectures will take place in downtown Baton Rouge’s Arts District, primarily in the Shaw Center for the Arts, Louisiana Art and Science Museum and the Old State Capitol. Lectures will be offered in different locations at different times throughout the day, and we are willing to schedule lectures to accommodate field trip groups’ preferred attendance times.
Schools can receive a discounted ticket package to attend Red Stick lectures on November 11 and 12, which provides festival Gold Passes for students, teachers and chaperones for $125 per group (group includes up to 30 students and 5 adults). Gold Passes typically cost $60 per person, but lower rates for school groups make it feasible for students and educators to attend the festival and learn about how science and art connect through digital media.The Gold Passes to attend with school groups will be valid for the duration of the festival.
Please contact us to discuss developing a field trip package for your students that allows them to be part of the 2010 Red Stick International Animation Festival. You can reach our festival office at 225-578-8904 or amoody@cct.lsu.edu to work out these details.
