Arts and Access - a Tale of Two Towns: Income Inequality - The gap between Rich and Poor and Its Effect on Art Education

Abstract

Teaching in 19 different schools to over 19,000 through a history of public school art education and museum education, I am primed to discuss the knowledge, and arts education gap between some of the wealthiest and poorest communities in my county. My presentation aims to show an artwork that I have created reflecting on my experiences, as well as, a brochure and podcast to share information and experiences with museum art educators. My hope is that by sharing my experiences working with diverse learnings and examing knowledge, income, and experience inequities, museum educators will be better positioned to support their students and visitors.
