Portland Art Museum Evening for Educators

The Portland Art Museum invites K-12 educators to enjoy refreshments and wine while networking with colleagues. Evenings for Educators are a chance for museum docents and staff to help teachers understand how to integrate the Museum's special exhibitions and permanent galleries into the classroom. We'll run through the NEW online reservation system, so teachers can learn how to reserve free school tours. The Museum’s director of education and public programs, Christina Olsen, will present the upcoming special exhibition China Design Now. Afterward teachers can go on a special guided tour of the exhibition. A series of short films My China Now will be screened in the Whitsell auditorium, curated by the Northwest Film Center, teachers are invited to attend that as well. A 10% educator discount at the museum gift shop will apply for the night. This event is FREE to educators who are Museum members and $15 for non members. Reservations are required as space is limited. Sign up online:
