By The Seattle Times Jobs staff<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What do you do?\u00a0I am assistant curator of school, youth and family programs at the\u00a0Henry Art Gallery<\/a>. I wear a few hats, including artist, educator, evaluator and administrator. I organize programs that engage youth, families and schools with the contemporary ideas at the museum. I work with colleagues across the museum to make sure that the Henry is a place where people of all ages and backgrounds can be creative, play and make meaningful connections to art and ideas.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

How did you get started in that field?\u00a0Not long after receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the\u00a0Maryland Institute College of Art<\/a>, I picked up a weekend job helping out with family programs at the\u00a0Walters Art Museum<\/a>\u00a0in Baltimore. There I was introduced to the field of museum education and was hooked. I had found a job that combined three of my favorite things: working with youth, exploring art and designing activities that allowed people to respond and make creations inspired by their museum experience. Since then, I\u2019ve followed this line of work in various ways at the\u00a0Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum<\/a>, the\u00a0Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/a>\u00a0and now the Henry!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s a typical day like?\u00a0My favorite thing about working in museum education is that every day is completely different. Depending on the day I might meet a new artist, catch up on the newest learning theory or create a fantastical landscape alongside 5-year-olds and their families. Lately, I\u2019ve been spending a lot of time with an awesome group of young people, the members of the Henry Teen Art Collective, who meet with me every week to create new projects and programs for the Henry.<\/p>\n
