Educator Open House for “The Culture: Hip Hop in Contemporary Art”
This Open House is designed for teachers to learn about the exhibition The Culture: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art in the 21st Century and discover programs, opportunities, and resources for connecting students with the exhibition and the broader canon of hip hop and contemporary art.
The Open House will include visits to the exhibition, art-making activities, talks, performances, and hands-on opportunities led by local artists, organizations, and students. This is a drop in style event so participants are welcome to come for a portion or stay for the entire event.
