The
Hamilton Area Museum Educators - Peer Learning Circle (HME/PLC) invite you to
present at our upcoming Peer Learning Circle!
Topic: Inside
View/Outside View: A Return to Active Audiences in Museums and Galleries
Date: Monday, November 12, 2012, 10:00am-3:00pm
Location: Art Gallery of Hamilton
123 King Street West
Hamilton
905-527-6610
When we talk about making museums or performing arts
organizations more participatory and dynamic, those changes are often seen as
threatening to the traditional arts experience. Audience commentary,
comfortable spaces for eating and talking, opportunities for amateurs to contribute
to professional work: these are often considered intrusions into formal,
classical settings for enjoyment of arts.
Sparked
by this very interesting post on Museum 2.0,
the topic for this year’s autumn PLC is active audiences in museums and
galleries.
WE
WANT TO KNOW what exciting and innovative ways you are changing your
museum/gallery audience from passive visitors to active, empowered
participators.
Do
you:
-run
an innovative program?
-participate
in an interesting partnership?
-integrate
active audiences in any way in your museum/gallery?
We
invite you to share your approaches and ideas in a presentation that will
engage others in conversation and offer learning in this informal peer learning
environment.
We
ask that presentations be a maximum of 15-20 minutes in length, followed by
10-15 minutes discussion period.
However, new approaches are welcome and creative presentations may be
longer or shorter depending on what you want to share or get out of them. All ideas related to the topic are welcome.
Step up and share!
For
more information about the HME Peer Learning Circle, please contact one of
HME’s coordinators.
We
look forward to hearing from you!
