Two ways to explore art and history
1. Build Community Through Art and History

In this field trip, students unpack Santa Cruz County history to discover how they too can build a more connected and meaningful community. They take on specific identity roles from Santa Cruz County’s past, explore three floors of art and history galleries, and design a bright future through a collaborative creative project.
