There’s a new exhibition coming to Crystal Bridges—and teachers, we want you to be among the first to see it!
Teachers and educators of all ages and disciplines are invited to a special preview of our new free exhibition, We the People: The Radical Notion of Democracy. Enjoy a guided walkthrough of the exhibition with a museum educator and see an original copy of the US Constitution in conversation with works of art by influential historical and contemporary artists.
To help you share this experience with your students, you’ll also have the opportunity to speak with a Museum Educator about ways to connect the exhibition to your curriculum. From guidance on how to add explorations of citizenship and community to your curriculem to a preview of what you can expect on a school tour, you’ll get an expert look at how to tap into the resources Crystal Bridges can provide. Best of all, you can even get professional development credit just for attending the evening. We hope to see you there!
