Join Jeanne Hoel, Education Program Manager at MOCA, and Brandy Vause, independent educator, for an afternoon of tutorials and workshops on art education. Learn alternative tactics for interacting with guests from how to lead a Visual Thinking Strategy (VTS) tour to simply creating a comfortable space to view and discuss art. The afternoon will focus on developing a new gallery guide for LACE’s fall exhibitions.
