Visual Arts TRaC starts tomorrow!

When and where to meet tomorrow....
You'll be meeting tomorrow in the Sackler Center for Arts Education at the Guggenheim Museum from 4:30 - 6:30.


The Guggenheim is located at 1071 5th Avenue (between 88th and 89th Streets). You will be going in the staff entrance to the Sackler Center through the 89th Street entrance. It's just around the corner from the main entrance past the big garage door. Sign in at the security desk, take the elevator down to the Lower Level and proceed through the double glass doors into the Sackler Center.

Getting there...
By Subway: To reach the museum by subway, take the 4, 5, or 6 train to 86th Street. Walk west on 86th Street, turn right at Madison Avenue and proceed north to 89th Street and turn left. The staff entrance is on 89th Street just before 5th Avenue.

By Bus: To reach the museum by bus, take the M1, M2, M3, or M4 bus on Madison- or Fifth Avenue.

Not sure which subways you need to transfer to? Use www.hopstop.com
Just put in your starting address and copy the Guggenheim address. It'll give you detailed directions.

Make sure to arrive 10 – 15 minutes early!
Casey Ruble, your instructor, will meet you at the staff entrance on 89th street, so make sure to be there before she heads down at 4:30. Call Eric if you get lost. In the future, get in touch with Casey!

(I suggest printing this out so you have all the information at hand.)

Your first outing will be Monday, Oct. 22nd at the Elizabeth Foundation. More details in class tomorrow and posted here before the weekend....

And don’t forget to bring a pen and a notebook!

Enjoy
