San Diego Museum of Art

Fall Semester Bonus Opportunities

The following activities are available at the San Diego Museum of Art. This list is compiled from my membership brochure. Please check with the museum before you attend to confirm the program is still “on” and the content has not changed. Full details about the programs can be found on the museum’s website. This is a skeleton list.

To earn your bonus you must get your admission ticket signed by the employee that runs the activity and bring it with you, along with your notes and anything you make to class the NEXT day. Some activities are free and others have a cost. If you are interested in going to all of them…purchasing a membership may be a reasonable option.

For a BONUS to apply…all work MUST be done and turned in. A BONUS is just that…a BONUS. It is extra above and beyond what is normally expected.
