About the Educator Camp

NMWA’s virtual Educator Summer Camp is designed for all educators: school teachers, home school instructors, scout leaders, etc. 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 27, through Friday, July 31. 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.

About the Artist Instructor

Through drawing, painting, and installation, Alex Callender traces and remaps historical materials to explore, with critical insight and care, how we might disentangle the interwoven relations of race, gender, and capitalism. Callender has had solo exhibitions and projects at the Center for the Arts at Northeastern University, University Museum of Contemporary Art (University of Massachusetts Amherst), the Gallatin Galleries (New York University), island gallery (New York City), ArtYard (New Jersey), and LookOut Gallery (Michigan State University). The artist has received grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and the Massachusetts Cultural Council and has held artist residencies in the U.S. and abroad. Callender was raised in Brooklyn, New York, and currently lives and works in western Massachusetts as an associate professor of art at Smith College.
