We're excited about the expansion/renovation of the David L. Mason Cildren's ART Museum. It will be a part of our new Youth Education Wing, which will include a dedicated Youth Gallery AND a dedicated Youth Clay Lab!

Unfortunately to realize this project, it is necessary to CLOSE the DLM until September 2011, when it will reopen in its new home.

Until then, please visit our Galleries, Gift Shop and Cafe' as well as sign up for any of our classes for children, teens or adults!

The David L. Mason Children's Art Museum (DLM) is an interpretive/interactive gallery space for children and their families that provides hands-on activities assisting with an understanding and appreciation of the work of artists exhibited in the galleries.

DLM Admission:

Members - FREE
Non-Members - $4
Children 2 and under - FREE
Senior Citizens - $3

Tours

Dunedin Fine Art Center, a Pinellas County School approved tour site, would like to share another new unique and wonderful educational opportunity for your teachers and students. DFAC offers school tours starting in September and continuing through the remainder of the school year.

Our tours consist of a 30-45 minute gallery discussion involving science, history, social influence and impact, principles and elements of design, creative problem solving and humor. The paintings, photographs and sculptures will address art and related thematic topics.

From the gallery, students proceed to the hands-on interactive gallery where they explore, create and build on concepts and images from the original artworks seen in the gallery. Time in the hands-on area is 30-45 minutes. To conclude the third 30 minute component of the tour, students gather in the studio for a teacher directed exhibit related activity.

Total tour time is two hours and the Center offers a discounted fee of three dollars per student. Sunshine State Standards and FCAT Standards can easily be identified and correlated to all three stages of our tours. We hope your teachers will be able to take advantage of this special resource in this community.
