Expanding the Museum's Reach –Folk Culture's role in Presenting a Community's Story75-minute session
Location: Hilton Albany, Kelsey Day/Time: Monday, April 8 // 11 AM - 12:15 PM About: Folk and traditional arts and culture provide opportunities for museums to engage with communities in unique ways. Successful programs have used several strategies, including making contextual connections with museum collections, engaging with local folk and traditional artists to provide live programming, and working with area schools to provide successful museum education programs that highlight the cultural groups found within a region. This presentation by the Hudson River Maritime Museum (Kingston), the Rockwell Museum (Corning), Mira Johnson of New York Folklore and Local Learning: The National Network for Folk Arts Education, and Ellen McHale of New York Folklore highlights the role of folk and traditional arts in giving "voice" to under-served communities.
