Success in School Partnerships
2024-02-16 12:00 - 13:30 UTC
Museum and school partnerships offer many benefits for both museums and schools, fostering a more holistic approach to learning. Founded in 1994, The NYC Museum School is a groundbreaking public secondary school that leverages museums and cultural resources to spark curiosity, support student success and serves as a learning laboratory and the ultimate museum-school partnership.
Learning Through Art is the Guggenheim Museum’s hallmark artist-in-residency program, sending experienced teaching artists into New York City public schools where they collaborate with classroom teachers to develop, facilitate, and integrate art projects into the school curriculum.
Join MANY and MuseumHue to learn more from The NYC Museum School co-founders, Ronald Chaluisan, then an experienced classroom teacher and now a leader in education reform, and Sonnet Takahisa, a long time museum educator, offer a brief history and discuss the context for the school’s planning, the development of logistics and pedagogical practices, and reflect on organizational partnering and their thirty-plus years of personal and professional collaboration. Michelle Wohlgemuth, Manager of School Programs at the Guggenheim Museum will share how Learning Through Art has served over 150,000 students from diverse economic and cultural backgrounds in all five boroughs of New York City.

Hueseum Tour: Barkley L. Hendricks at Frick Madison

Join Museum Hue for our next Hueseum Tour at Frick Madison, 945 Madison Avenue at 75th Street

Hendricks: Portraits at the Frick from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.
Barkley L. Hendricks (1945–2017) revolutionized contemporary portraiture with his vivid depictions of Black subjects that emphasize the dignity and individuality of his sitters. Beginning in the late 1960s, his work drew from and challenged traditions of European art, and The Frick Collection—with its iconic portraits by Rembrandt, Bronzino, Van Dyck, and others—was one of his favorite museums.
The exhibition, “celebrates and explores the remarkable work of this pioneering American painter with an unprecedented display of paintings drawn from private and public collections.” Organized by Aimee Ng, Curator at the Frick, and Consulting Curator Antwaun Sargent, Barkley L. Hendricks: Portraits at the Frick considers the complex place of European painting in Hendricks’s art and the evolving role of the Frick in modern American culture.
This tour is free for Museum Hue members, and non-members must pay $5 admission to secure their spot. This tour only has space for 15 museumgoers due to limited spots; we urge interested attendees only to register if they are confident of availability on October 6, from 5 — 7 pm.
