Celebrating our youth partnerships in a time of uncertainty.

Amidst the decision to close the Museum to the public beginning on Saturday, March 14th and this unprecedented time that the globe is facing, came the question: how do we still showcase the work of students and teachers involved in the Extended School Partnership (ESP)? Thanks to the quick thinking, experience, and dedication of Gallery Educators Akiko Mims, Luisa Martínez, Max Lofano, and Olimpia Vazquez Ojeda, showcase installation quickly turned into an impromptu photo session. With slideshows of these photographs, the Museum is able to share a virtual showcase with our partner schools and the public at large.
These ESP collaborations between teachers, students, and the Museum’s Gallery Educators began in fall 2019. Educators integrated contemporary art into their curriculum, drawing from exhibitions Marnie Weber: Songs that Never Die and Other Stories, More Like a Forest: Paintings and Sculptures by Richard Allen Morris, Nancy Lupo: Scripts for the Pageant, Bound to the Earth: Art, Materiality and the Natural World, and México quiero conocerte: Photographs by Graciela Iturbide and Manuel Álvarez Bravo.
