Professional Development
Throughout the year, we offer a variety of professional development opportunities.
Exhibition Workshops & Conference Sessions
With each new exhibition launched, we give you an easy way to get to know its content and hosting requirements. Workshops are conducted at opening venues and include curator tours, installation tips, and other related information.
Conference Sessions
Connecting to Nature through Art: The Power of Exhibitions / 2012 Western Museum Association
Tuesday, October 23 - 9:00 am – 10:15 am
Engagement with the natural world is innate for some, a chance occurrence for others, and an unfamiliar experience for many. Presenters will share goals and outcomes of exhibitions that used contemporary art as a means of overcoming the disconnection from nature and lead attendees through a short activity that will show the power of exhibits to inspire. Participants will gain a set of tools that can be used in institutions of any size or discipline to connect visitors with the natural world.
Moderator: Adrienne McGraw, Director, Exhibit Envoy
Presenters: Julia Pennington Cronin, Curator of Collections and Exhibits, Turtle Bay Exploration Park; Suzanne Tan, Director, Berkeley Art Center
