Event Description
About the Educator Camp
NMWA’s virtual Educator Summer Camp is designed for all educators: schoolteachers, home school instructors, scout leaders, and more. We just ask that you come with your learners in mind and a playful spirit!
We will offer 1.5-hour sessions daily, Monday, July 21, through Friday, July 25. Sessions, inspired by the Art, Books, and Creativity (ABC) Institutes and NMWA’s collection, are hands-on, participatory, and fun. Sessions will explore NMWA’s collection and resources, introduce historical and contemporary women artists, and engage participants in experimental making and close looking.
Guest instructors include artists and educators from around the country. You will receive a recommended supply list, applicable digital resources, and a Zoom meeting link in advance of each session.
Register for one session or many depending on your interest and commitments.
Session participants can request certificates of completion reflecting total earned participation hours.
