Discussions with Donna Marie
One of our most popular exhibits is the Imagination
Studio. If you've never been to the studio let me describe it to you -
easels with paper ready for capturing those Picasso moments using kid-friendly
brushes; a new hands-on creative project every month that follows our monthly
theme; a clay table using the kind of clay real artists use; a see-through
paint board for learning more about shapes; a chalk table; recycle sculpture
items and even more.
The growing popularity of this exhibit has led to the studio being over-crowded
and has made it difficult for children and their caregivers to interact.
Recently, we have implemented a new ticketing system for the Imagination
Studio. The new process helps us provide a better space for playful, artistic
expression and exploration.
As you probably already know, at the Museum, our greatest goal is that a
caregiver can play and learn more about their child, while the child is
exploring new ideas and concepts. For this to happen, the safety and
close proximity of child to caregiver is of our highest importance. Our
concern is that too often the studio was over-crowded, making it challenging
for caregivers to interact with their child. The crowded space also made
it difficult for our staff to assist families, replenish supplies and clean-up
the area.
Like any new process, our new ticket system will have some kinks to work
out. Our goal is to maintain a safe number of visitors in the exhibit
while still providing opportunities for everyone to enjoy the studio. I
thank you in advance for your patience while we work out those kinks.
Additionally, we have added another art area to the Museum. A community
craft table in Go Figure! gives you and your child a chance to contribute to a
larger project and it enhances the mathematical learning in that
exhibit. Right now, we are working on a giant community
quilt! This month we are also launching an Art Club for our older
artists (6 - 10 year olds) who are ready for a longer time period focusing on
arts.
Again, we appreciate your patience and feedback during these changes.
