Museum of Fine Arts, Houston

The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, will plan and design hang@mfah: Houston.Art.New.Generation. Hang@MFAH will be a place where young people can learn about themselves, digital media, and art in an out-of-school museum setting, with a mentor and community of peers. The lab’s primary audience will be from the Houston Independent School District—the largest public school district in Texas and the seventh-largest in the United States, serving more than 47,000 students, nearly 80% of who are considered economically disadvantaged and 63% considered “at-risk.” The project team will combine best practices in the field of museum and technology education to help bridge the digital divide. The museum will work with the Glassell Junior School (Part of the Glassell School of Art) in this endeavor.
