Program Announcement
Designing Spaces to Fit Programs and Programs to Fit Spaces
Thursday, October 19, 2006, 1:30-4:30
PM
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
Koret Visitor Education Center (enter main museum lobby to check in)
Registration for this program is now closed. All seats have been reserved.
The following information is for reference only. Thank you!
Many museums are going through physical changes—retrofitting,
expanding, rebuilding, or relocating—that have major implications
for programs. How can new spaces be designed to maximize visibility and
enhance the visitor experience? How can existing spaces be adapted to
serve new educational uses? How can we design programs that acknowledge
the limitations and strengths of our workspaces?
Three Bay Area art museums—The
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The
Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, and the Fine
Arts Museums of San
Francisco-de Young—will
outline their educational and architectural planning processes and philosophies,
share visitor evaluation results, and discuss the challenges of and adaptations
to their new programs and education spaces.
Our presenters represent three institutions that have recently opened
new facilities.
- Julie Charles, Associate Curator of Education at the San Francisco
Museum of Modern Art, will discuss new programs designed for their
state-of-the-art
Koret Visitor Education Center, a multimillion dollar retrofitted
space carved out of the existing building that places education at
the physical
center of their building.
- Sheila Pressley, Director of Education at the de Young—one
of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco—will discuss what they
have learned about their new educational spaces since going live
and how
their programs are evolving on the first anniversary of their
re-opening in
October 2005.
- Deborah Clearwaters, Manager of Public Programs,
at the Asian Art Museum will discuss the challenges and opportunities
of presenting programs
in public spaces of the museum, which cannot be changed architecturally.
