Hi Judith - As we are putting on a 10 day immersion course in public programming
in mid-November, I though that you might find the information useful. Please
send me an email if you like additional information or registration materals:
 
PUBLIC PROGRAMMING
Lively, relevant programs which address public interests and issues,
develop community support, and generate revenue are a key to
survival for many museums and heritage agencies in the 1990s.
This course examines the central role of education, interpretation
and public programming, and emphasizes the importance of
approaches which balance community interests and curatorial
priorities. Course topics include:
- the role of programming in museums and heritage agencies
- identifying communities and assessing needs and interests
- public involvement in program development
- defining programming goals and policies
- communication theory and program planning
- program implementation, management and evaluation
 - issues of access, point of view, multicultural perspectives,
intellectual and curatorial integrity, and technology
Instructor: Lynn Kurylo worked in education and public programming
with the Royal Ontario Museum for eight years. She is now a
consultant, specializing in program design and audience
development.
