Artist Talk with Ana Fernandez

3:15 - 4pm, Wednesday, September 9, 2009

Ana will present her project "Museo en una Caja / Museum in a Box" an arts education tool developed to bring contemporary Ecuadorian art to rural communities. Ana conducts art workshops in rural Ecuadorian communities and urban under-served populations. She designed the Museum in a Box so it can be easily transported, seen, touched, passed down to other people, and serve as an inspiration to create art.

The first 20 K-12 teachers who attend the artist talk will receive a free "Museum in a Box" to use in their own classrooms.
