Winter Educator Workshop: The Power of Portraits

Dec 3 2022

Seattle Art Museum

Simons Board Room

10:30 AM – 4 PM

Join SAM educators, teaching artists, and local experts as we consider personal and cultural representation, especially in connection to personal identity. Discover and examine how place, power, and history are conveyed through portraits in Dawoud Bey & Carrie Mae Weems: In Dialogue at SAM's downtown location, as well as throughout SAM's collection.

This workshop will include time in the galleries, art-making activities, and curriculum connections to harness student perspectives through portraits and reflection.

The registration fee for this event is $35, or $30 for SAM Members. If cost is a barrier, please contact EducatorPrograms@seattleartmuseum.org. It includes resources and Washington State Clock hours. Classroom educators, paraeducators, subject area coaches, and administrators are welcome to attend. RSVPs to this event are greatly appreciated.

Dawoud Bey & Carrie Mae Weems: In Dialogue is organized by the Grand Rapids Art Museum, with presenting support generously provided by MillerKnoll. Additional support is provided by Wege Foundation, Agnes Gund, the National Endowment for the Arts, and Eenhoorn, LLC.
