Education
In
alignment with the Pratt Museum mission, we are dedicated to the process
of education by exploring the natural environment and the human experience
relative to the Kachemak Bay region of Alaska and its place in the world.
We seek to inspire self-reflection and dialogue in our community and in
visitors through educational programs and interpretive activities in the
arts, sciences, and humanities.
Integrating Educational Programming and the Master Exhibition
Plan
Thanks
to the prestigious two-year Museums of America Grant from the federal
Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the Pratt Museum is embarking
on a major project to better integrate its educational programming with
the Museum's comprehensive master exhibition plan: Kachemak Bay:
An Exploration of People and Place. The first phase of new exhibits
opened to enthusiastic acclaim in June 2004. The Museum is currently planning
the second, larger phase of exhibit renovations. Bi-weekly brown bag lunches
have been soliciting input and ideas from the community. This grant will
partially support education staff at the Museum, the Community Conversations
program and summer programming for youth.
