Children who enter grade one this fall will not be retiring until
2068, if then. No-one can adequately forecast the changes they will
face over their working life and with the current state of the
economy, environmental issues and political unrest, no-one can guess
what the role of the art gallery will be in the future. How do we
prepare ourselves for the changes we will face as art gallery
educators?
This symposium will explore the current climate of change that art
galleries are facing and how we can move forward to create a
sustainable model for the future. Many art gallery educators are
embracing tools and techniques from professionals working outside the
museum in order to not only respond to change but to go forth and meet
future challenges. Presentations from professionals in the fields of
advertising, visitor studies, interpretive planning and academia will
share their expertise to further extend these discussions. We will
gather new ideas to add to our educator's toolbox, reflect on our own
practices as museum and gallery educators and move closer to
actualizing our dreams of making our museums more relevant in our ever
changing communities.
