Opening Reception: Summer Institute Exhibition

Free and open to the public.

The K-12 teachers participating in our annual Summer Institute open an exhibition of the projects completed, indoors and out, during this summer's intensive. The Institute, a collaboration between the Lynden Sculpture Garden and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Art Education program, recruits cross-disciplinary teams of K-12 teachers from selected schools to participate in hands-on experiences and artistic dialogues with curators, artists, naturalists, and UWM faculty with the aim of developing curriculum that uses their discoveries at Lynden to teach through the arts. The Institute is a component of ArtsECO, a UWM initiative funded by the Margaret A. Cargill Foundation that focuses on sustaining arts education by building a strong network of support for pre-service, early service, and veteran teachers equipped to "teach through the arts." The exhibition remains on view through August 9.
