The Erie Art Museum is thrilled to relaunch Kids as Curators, a beloved program originally developed in 2005 by former Education Manager and Teaching Artist Kelly Armor following a residency at J.S. Wilson Middle School. Centered on giving students true creative control, the program empowers young people to collect, curate, and design exhibits around ideas that matter to them, demonstrating that museums are living, breathing spaces for fresh perspectives. Revived by popular demand, the Museum is bringing back this impactful program. This year, the Museum is collaborating with Dafmark Art Center and rostered Erie Arts & Culture Teaching Artist Nicholas Gore, marking the first official reboot of this community favorite.
