Outreach programs incorporate discussion and creative response, including art making and interdisciplinary components, and currently include Learning Through Art (currently offered weekly to two grade levels at a local school) and Art in the Afternoon (currently offered after school weekly at 4 locations).  This is professional museum work requiring the independent application of basic pedagogy and communication techniques used in museum programs. The work responsibilities are: Designs program curriculum; teaches and leads outreach sessions; designs program evaluations; serves as a liaison with partner organizations; works with colleagues to provide institutional data and information; coordinates several juried student art exhibitions; and performs staffing duties for the Museum’s Outreach programs.  The Museum Curator II reports to the Museum Curator III, Curator of Education.
