Erie Art Museum

The Erie Art Museum will implement its Kids as Curators program, designed to reach three middle school populations (one suburban, one rural, and one inner-city) each year. The program will focus on training teachers and resident artists about the curatorial process–selecting, evaluating, interpreting, and presenting objects in exhibitions–to engage students in the basic concepts of their curriculum. The project activities include students drawing from their own collections; each school curating and designing an exhibition from the students’ collections at their own institution; and the installation of each school’s exhibition at the Erie Art Museum.
