Dear all,
The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery in Stoke on Trent is preparing a
project to investigate how collections and collections interpretation can
facilitate communication between young children and their carers.
We have applied to NESTA Illuminate to fund this work, and they are very
supportive of our project.
We've reached a point where we really need another museum partner!
We are looking for a museum with decorative arts or (ideally and) natural
history collections who has already put in place display interpretation or
activities (self-guided rather than workshop) aimed specifically at
preschool children and would be interested in evaluating them as part of
our project. If you have encountered issues of space (perhaps because of
a historic building), so much the better.
The project will be fully funded, requiring only a commitment of time from
partner organisations. The New Art Gallery Walsall and Stoke Speaks Out
are already project partners.
If you might be interested and would like more detailed information about
the project, please email me for the full blurb.
