Evening for Educators: A Living Language: Cherokee Syllabary and Contemporary Art
In conjunction with our current exhibition A Living Language: Cherokee Syllabary and Contemporary Art, we invite Western North Carolina K–12 visual arts teachers to participate in a casual and collaborative professional-development workshop. This workshop will include an in-gallery talk with the exhibition curator, Zoom presentation and Q&A with exhibition artist Skye Tafoya, and related artmaking with museum educators in our studio. Evening for Educators is an opportunity to network with other art educators, share and learn as both teacher and student, and connect with your own creative process. Generous funding for A Living Language programming is provided by Blue Ridge National Heritage Area and Cherokee Preservation Foundation.
Visual arts teachers/coordinators are invited to register to participate in this professional development at the ticket link above. CEU credits are available. Lesson plan included.
Please note:
- Professional development takes place indoors in the Museum’s John & Robyn Horn Education Center.
- Masks and social distancing are required.
