Early Childhood Education in Museums Symposium
The Early Childhood Education in Museums Symposium: Reimagining Museums Through Children’s Participation is a collaborative program dedicated to advancing museums’ roles as dynamic spaces for young children and their adults.
Hosted by the Clyfford Still Museum and co-hosted by the University of Colorado Denver and the Denver Art Museum, this symposium will explore how centering children’s rights, agency, and creativity can fundamentally transform the daily work within museum spaces. Shaped by current research and practice, the agenda features an international keynote, critical panel discussions, conversation hubs, and case studies.
Participants will also have the opportunity for experiential learning through program demonstrations at both the Clyfford Still Museum and the Denver Art Museum, and a tour of "Tell Clyfford I Said 'Hi,'" An Exhibition Curated by Children of the Colville Confederated Tribes at the Clyfford Still Museum.
This is a 2-day symposium but the first day is sold out. Entry to the symposium's second day (on May 5) is free but space is limited. Please register to attend.
