  • 1.  Panel-- Innovative Student Programming-- AAM 2019

    Posted 08-27-2018 10:32 AM
    Hello everyone, 

    I am looking to pull together a panel for AAM2019 on innovative student programming-- The National WWII Museum is in the process of launching a new student experience that I hope to share with the conference. We have a short time to write the proposal-- so if you have an awesome student program to share, let me know!

    Do you have a specific age range of "students" you hope to highlight? We've been expanding our programs for undergraduate students in particular, being that we're on a college campus. Our Welcome Party (more than just a party, very much connecting to the collection) draws over 1,000 students, and we're introducing new programming this fall as a follow up to that event. So, our students are 18-22, but still very much students.

    Let me know if this angle might be of interest and I would be happy to chat further.

    CAP Lab
    ​Vizcaya founded CAP Lab in 2014 in partnership with the College of Communication, Architecture + The Arts at Florida International University. This learning initiative has multiple objectives, among them to further Vizcaya's commitment to learning by engaging university students, fostering interactions between students and working artists, and further integrating the Contemporary Arts Program (CAP) into the fabric of the museum (see more information below). CAP Lab provides students with real-world experience in the arts by engaging them in the museum's annual CAP exhibition and offering an avenue to explore the complex and contextually rich situations that arise when contemporary artists develop site-specific work for a hundred-year-old estate.

    Contemporary Arts Program (CAP)
    ​Celebrating its ten-year anniversary in 2016, the Contemporary Arts Program is a Vizcaya-based commission program that provides artists with the creative challenge to develop original, site-specific work in response to a historic site situated in the public realm. CAP was inspired by the dynamic, creative spirit that characterized Vizcaya's inception one hundred years ago, and it preserves Vizcaya owner James Deering's tradition as a patron of the arts. From John Singer Sargent, a houseguest who painted watercolors of the estate, to A. Stirling Calder, who sculpted the figures on the Barge, and Robert Winthrop Chanler, creator of the swimming pool grotto ceiling mural, Vizcaya continues a dialogue between the historic and the contemporary. As was the case one hundred years ago, Vizcaya's singular sense of place remains the point of departure for artists.

    Hi Adam,

    Thanks so much for your prompt. I am glad that the conversation is focused on college-age students, as I think this audience has a particular set of needs. For the past two years, I have been the Assistant Curator of Academic Programs at the Memorial Art Gallery, an encyclopedic art museum affiliated with the University of Rochester. In this role, I have been charged with developing initiatives and programs to make the museum a resource for students and faculty inside and outside of the classroom. This has involved teaching individual class sessions, organizing College Night celebrations, and developing exhibitions with students and faculty. You can find a brief synopsis of all we do here: University Connections 

    My colleague Susan Dodge Peters Daiss has a longstanding partnership with the university's School of Medicine and Dentistry, in which she uses collections objects as a way to teach a variety of skills and concepts relevant to medical professionals: Rochester Review * University of Rochester 

    Feel free to contact me if you would like to know more.

    Best,
    Andrew
