>Many museums and galleries in the North West are now programming
successful events and workshop activities for families. However, lack of
resources (whether staff time or money) means that often it is impossible
to programme more events to meet increasing demand. Also, museums and
galleries are increasingly aware that a programme of events should be
matched by provision for families who choose to make casual visits.
>
>This one day seminar, organised by Arts About Manchester, will look at
best practice and practical solutions on how to cater creatively for the
casual drop-in family visit all year round. Speakers will be drawn from
different scales of organisations from across the country. Topics covered
will include:
>
>What is Family Learning?
>Guiding principles for what makes a good family experience
>Case studies
>How we can effectively work with artists on family audience development
projects
>Evaluating and monitoring the effectiveness of your family resources
>Group discussions
>
>The day aims to provide a clearer understanding of what makes families
happy in museums and art galleries and how to sustain them as an audience
throughout the year. A follow up report will also be produced for all
delegates.
