UPCOMING PROGRAMS

SUMMER ART INSTITUTE: CULTURAL IDENITY & ART (on-site program)
July 19 - 23, 2021 | 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily

Our sense of self and identity is often revealed through intentional and unintentional choices, such as the clothes and hairstyles we wear, and the activities we take part in. Join us as we explore, through the arts, how cultural identity can help us better understand ourselves and others. Through reading, discussion, making art and the analysis of art, we will develop a deeper understanding of cultural identity and diversity, and how to teach our students about the multicultural landscape that surrounds us all.

The Institute is led by Maryhill Museum of Art's executive director, Colleen Schafroth, with guest presenters throughout the week, including artists Sorcha Meek and Tammi Jo Wilson. Extracurricular activities include visits to regional institutions such as The Dalles Art Center.

Explore the full syllabus here.

Cost: $215 Maryhill Museum of Art members / $230 non-members; advance registration required.
