Educators' Night Out

Join us at the Museum for an evening planned especially for all educators to mingle and develop new, creative ideas to enrich their curricula. The event will feature networking over wine and snacks, a special tour of current exhibitions (including ART:work, an exhibition of art educators), a tour of the brand new classroom and activity area in the Education Wing, and information about using the Museum School to enhance educational programs in all curricula. Finish the evening with a concert by Abe Partridge, musician and visual artist, who will entertain us in Larkins Auditorium. The event is free and four Professional Development Hours will be awarded.
