TMA/TISD School Tour Program This special partnership, begun in 1976 between the Tyler Museum of Art and the Tyler Independent School District, enables all students from two elementary grade levels to come to the Museum for a tour and an exhibition-related art activity. During the 2008-2009 school year, all 2nd and 5th grade students in TISD will have the opportunity to participate. If your school or district is interested in arranging a similar type of program, please contact the Education Department.
