Join us for a FREE professional development in-person program that will strengthen your knowledge of art history and provide you with creative ideas to integrate visual art into classroom teaching. You will have the opportunity to explore the exhibition Exchanging Words: Women and Letters in Seventeenth-Century Dutch Genre Painting (September 21- December 31, 2022), hear talks on works in the Timken's permanent collection, receive lesson plans and participate in hands-on learning experiences.
All attendees will have a chance to network with other educators over wine and light appetizers and receive free bus transportation to the Timken for their classrooms.
