Ethics & Gallery Education: How do ethical issues impact on learning and education in galleries and museums and on artists’ working with participants?
The engage International Summer School welcomes experienced educators, visual artists, curators and academics – working in the field of gallery and museum education and engaged visual art practice – to review and develop their practice during a three-day residential course. Please note that the deadline for applications has now been extended to 5pm on Wednesday 21 May, in order to allow a greater number of colleagues to attend.
This peer-led professional development event represents an opportunity for mid-career or senior colleagues to work together to:
– Reflect on aspects of current practice in gallery and museum education
– Review current research and political agendas
– Learn about international contexts for gallery and museum education
– Network with UK and international colleagues
– Consider the role of artists working with participants
This year’s engage Summer School will be hosted by Falmouth University in Cornwall from Tuesday 8 to Thursday 10 July.
As well as a stimulating range of peer-led sessions and workshops the event will include a field trip to galleries and artist-led venues such as Tate St Ives and Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, Newlyn Art Gallery and The Exchange.
This is an exciting opportunity to take part in in-depth discussion, meet colleagues from across the UK and around the World; potentially present or lead a session to develop your own research/practice; and to find out about arts and education programmes in Cornwall and the South West.
The cost of attending starts at £275 for non-members of engage, £200 for Organisational members and £150 for Personal members. Low-cost accommodation is available at Falmouth University.
