Outreach Programs
2008-2009 Academic Year
After a successful beginning for our educational outreach programs last year, when groups of school children enjoyed tours and discussion in the gallery, then created their own narrative collages and paintings inspired by the works on display, the museum is pleased to offer two more programs this year. Juniata senior Museum Studies students Alex-Rae Campbell and Claire Wakefield will lead interactive tours of the museum’s permanent collection of Hudson River School paintings, then guide the children in hands-on workshops relating to landscape imagery. The first program, for 5- to 8-year olds, will be held on January 31, 2009, from 10:30-11:30 a.m., while the second program, for 9- to 12-year olds, will take place on February 21, 2009, from 10:30-11:30 a.m. The programs are free to the public, but space is limited. To register your child, or for more information, please contact Jennifer Streb at 814-641-3657 or streb@juniata.edu.
2007-2008 Academic Year
The museum is developing community outreach activities and offered two programs for elementary children during the Fall 2007 semester in conjunction with “Jacob Lawrence: Three Series of Prints.” Emily Fitzgerald and Lindsay LaPrad, both senior Museum Studies POEs, provided interactive tours of the exhibition for 5- to 8-year olds and 9- to 12-year olds and led hands on workshops relating to Lawrence’s creative method.
