How can Passages in American Art be integrated into my existing curriculum?
Free for educators
We invite you to take a closer look at Passages with curators, contributors and fellow educators. We’ll discuss strategies to integrate this interdisciplinary installation into your existing plans for the school year.
Except for the Auditorium program from 4:30 p.m. to 5:15 p.m., this program will be drop-in so please come when you can and stay for however long you’d like. Certificates of Attendance will be provided upon request.
At this PMA Educator Open House, we will be joined by Seth Goldstein who was a member of the Advisory Committee for Passages.
Educator Workshops and Open Houses provide opportunities to hear speakers, explore the galleries, and learn from each other.
