Bus Trips

Art Association in Roxbury bus trips to art galleries and museums are reasonably priced and provide opportunities to visit New York City, Philadelphia, and other places that our members might not get a chance to see. This is a great way to expand the mind and spur creativity.

The National Arts Club founded in 1893, located at Gramercy Park South in the magnificent Tilden Mansion, a designated New York landmark and a National Historic Landmark.

The 38th Annual Exhibition are works by some of the most accomplished of pastel artists in the U.S. and abroad.

Sorolla – the “Painter of Light”. – Sorolla’s “ Vision of Spain” has returned to the Hispanic Society of America, following a record-breaking tour of Spain. It was the most successful exhibition in Spanish history. The masterwork contains 14 MONUMENTAL oil paintings. Experience this magnificent exhibit in its renewed splendor.

“BIG BAMBU” – You Can’t, You Don’t, and You Won’t Stop. This exhibit is presented on the Roof Garden, by twin brothers, Mike and Doug Starn. The monumental bamboo structure, ultimately measuring 100 feet long, 50 feet wide, and 50 feet high, takes the form of a cresting wave that bridges realms of sculpture, architecture, and performance. Big Bambu is being constructed throughout the spring, summer, and fall by the artists and a team of rock climbers. Set against Central Park and its urban backdrop, it suggests the complexity and energy of an ever-changing living organism. It is the 13th single-artist installation on the Roof Garden. It has a vast network of 5,000 interlocking 30-40-foot-long fresh-cut bamboo poles, lashed together with 50 miles of nylon rope. It will continue to be constructed throughout the duration of the exhibition. An internal footpath artery system grows along with the structure, facilitating its progress.

Guided Tour Requirements: You must individually obtain a timed-ticket upon arrival. You must wear closed, flat, rubber-soled shoes or sneakers. You must be steady on your feet, not suffer from Vertigo, or have fear of height.

IMPORTANT: If you choose not to go on the guided tour, it is not necessary to obtain a ticket and you can still go up to the Roof Garden to view “Big Bambu” - Admission to the Met is not included in price.
