Program Goals
The diverse, students programs offered at the Galleries at Moore, Moore College of Art & Design, that introduce local, national, and international contemporary art to the Philadelphia community are intended to sustain, expand, and develop our educational outreach. The galleries' exhibitions cover a broad scope of contemporary and postmodern concepts; the accompanying educational programs help to bring these exhibitions and conceptual subjects into a more familiar context. By expanding our efforts to include both in-gallery education and outreach programs, we hope to encourage educators and students to become more involved with contemporary art education. It is our belief that the opportunity to engage students with contemporary artists, and the direction and influence of their work is a vital component to art appreciation. Contemporary art education gives students the chance to explore the diversity of current experimentations in art, and heightens their ability to conduct and participate in critical conversations amongst their peers and educators. The exhibitions that we see in contemporary galleries will one day be in the art history books of our classrooms. By encouraging students to evaluate the present, we enhance their ability to understand and appreciate the past with the knowledge that everything has at one time been called contemporary. |
