Westwoods Field Trip at Strange Traveller

Submit to the High School Outdoor Art Exhibition 2026

Michigan Legacy Art Park is excited to announce an opportunity for high school students to participate in an outdoor sculpture exhibition. Our mission is to inspire awareness, appreciation and passion for Michigan’s history, culture and environment through the arts and we are thrilled to be able to connect the area’s young artists with our vision of public works of art. Submitted works can take the form of traditional sculptural objects, temporary or ephemeral works, or land art and can tie into our mission in any number of ways. Learn more here…

Field Trips and Looking to Learn

K-12 Resources

Each fall and spring, teachers from area schools bring their students on fieldtrips to the Art Park – a place where their textbooks spring to life through the sculptures they discover while exploring nature.While Michigan’s schools are being asked to do more with less, Michigan Legacy Art Park helps educators fill the gap by offering valuable learning opportunities. The sculptures serve as inspirational starting points for topics in history, geography, science, language arts, and environmental studies.

My son raved about the Art Park field trip. He has never really appreciated art until that day. I could not get him to stop talking about it and when I commented that he’s always said he didn’t like art, he responded, “I feel different now, Mom. Art is fascinating,” [MLAP] made the difference in his feelings about art…for a lifetime. A parent, Frankfort, MI
