LOOKING TO SEE provides structured guided tours and educational outreach to the general public, with a focus on K-12 schools, after-school programs, and community organizations. The Halsey is committed to increasing community engagement by providing greater access to contemporary art, and the tours are open to all interested groups and schools FREE of charge. The Halsey also offers travel subsidies, the Bus on Us initiative, to schools/groups that may have barriers for participation.

For Fall 2021, we are returning to in-person tours, and we are also offering virtual tour options and educational packets for our current and recent past exhibitions. Explore our educational packets here or reach out to us at HalseyTours@cofc.edu or call (843) 953-5659. All groups and classes planning a trip to our galleries for either in-person or self-guided tours MUST complete the Tour Reservation Request form.

The Looking to See program would not be possible without the talent and hard work of our dedicated tour guides. Thank you, Tyler Blanton, Sandra Brett, Anne Janas, Gail Onken, Ruth Rambo, Kay Smith, Jess Spence, Kat Staff, Karen Thompson, and Jan Welborn! We are currently taking applications for new tour guides.
