We gotta have art!
This month's MUSEUM EDUCATION MONITOR (MEM) will highlight ongoing work in
museum education research, evaluation and resources related to the visual
arts and/or art history. Working in this area? I invite you to share your
work with interested others around the world.
Listings by workers at all sites of informal learning (museums, galleries,
historic sites, science centres, parks, etc.), consultants, faculty, and
students at all levels of study are welcomed. MEM continues to offer a
one-year free subscription to any student in a museum-education related
course or program and to any museum educator who is currently unwaged. See
http://www.mccastle.com/Public/MEM.aspx for details.
To share your ongoing research and evaluation, just send an e-mail to me at
[log in to unmask] that includes:
- name of project
- research or evaluation question(s) [no more than 50 words, please]
- how the data will be presented
- principal researcher(s)/ evaluator(s)
- site(s) where research is being conducted
- time span
- contact information
- key words/labels to describe the project [no more than 4 or 5, please].

Resources in Museum Education" at http://forum.mccastle.com/.
All listings are free of charge and displayed in their language of origin.
Deadline for the May MEM is Friday May 21.
FYI, listings in the April MEM 2010 included:
- Activity Backpacks: A New Access Point for Families in Traditional Museum
Exhibitions (USA)
