February is going to be a busy month that includes several programs for teachers that range from an Artist Talk to an Evening for Educators.
Gregory Crewdson, (Untitled) House in the Road, 2002, The Rachofsky Collection
First up is a teacher workshop on the evening of Wednesday, February 3 from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m. Artist Gregory Crewdson will be at the Museum to give a public lecture as part of the “Creativity in the Age of Technology” lecture series through The University of Texas at Dallas. Three of Crewdson’s photographs are currently on view in our galleries, and teachers can register to join Logan Acton and me for a conversation about these works of art before joining the public talk at 7:30. Register online to earn CPE hours while connecting with an artist who is working today.

Our next teacher workshop will be on Saturday, February 6. Shannon Karol will lead this workshop on the exhibition Jacob Lawrence: The Life of Toussaint L’Ouverture, which includes fifteen silkscreen prints about the life of this leader during the Haitian Revolution.
Teachers at Evening for Educators
