Transportation Stipend
Hallie Ford Museum of Art is committed to making the museum as accessible to as wide an audience as possible. Thanks to a generous donation, a limited number of stipends are available on a first-come, first-served basis to fund half of the cost of student bus trips to and from the museum. Eligible schools pay the transportation company in full and then submit a reimbursement request/invoice for half of that amount.
For further information on the process of applying for a stipend, please call (503) 370-6855.
“For the past several years my students and I have visited visit Hallie Ford Museum, and the kids (and adults) always enjoy it. Hallie Ford offers an inexpensive and relevant opportunity for a top-notch fine arts field trip. I highly recommend it!”

“[T]here is nothing like bringing kids to such a wonderful, local resource! If anyone ever asked me what the best kept secret in Salem was, I'd say, ‘Hallie Ford Museum of Art.’"
-Lisa Leirmo, Art Teacher, McKay High School
