Dear Celeste,
You should definitely check out the case study of the programming efforts
made by the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art, presented on-line by the
National Endowment for the Arts at the website:
http://arts.endow.gov/pub/Lessons/Casestudies/Farrell.html

Ann Farrell and Gwen Gomez have done an outstanding job at developing
community outreach programming for the Latino community in San Diego and
have submitted a proposal for a poster session presenting this program with
the sponsorship of the AAM Diversity Coalition at the 95th AAM Annual
Meeting "Museums 2000: Reflection, Vision, and Change" scheduled to take
place in Baltimore, MD, May 14-18, 2000.

You can also visit the SDMoCA website for more information at:

Hope this helps!

Best,
John T. Suau
Meetings and Diversity Coordinator

>
>+ Are there model programs that we can learn from?
>+ Which pieces/sections should be translated into Spanish?
>+ Do we translate them into Spanish after the programs have been developed
>and evaluated OR create the Spanish sections concurrently?
>+ Are there potential funders for the translation of these materials into
