<p>Inserted below is a copy of a note regarding a very creative
program shared between the local museum and art gallery in Yakima,
Washington. It could function as an outreach program too.<br>
</p>
<p>-------------------------------<br>
</p>
<p>I often feel there could be stronger connections between art
galleries and museums. A practical example was in Yakima,
Washington where the local museum and art gallery worked together
to achieve major funding for a joint education program. Located a
couple of blocks apart, which allowed for a simple walk between
the two, they put together a unified program for school class
visits. The intent was to economize bus costs for visits by
having classes visit both places during a unified field trip,
extending the hours of a class outing and providing a greater
educational experience through a shared program. Because it was
novel and oriented community wide, the project was totally funded
for its first year including bussing costs, by a local bank which
encouraged that every school in the district should have a access
to it.</p>
There were three topics a class could select from for a visit. 1)
Form & Function, 2) Light & Color, and 3) Texture and
Volume. The art gallery and the museum each created their own
programs for those topics, and each class would pick one topic for
their day of visit. The unity between the institutions proved very
very interesting and the program was designed to meet all the needs
of the State's guide for curriculum to allow for the class
outings. It was a brilliant program and the appreciation that
developed between the two institutions was a joy to witness for each
brought true creativity to the results. I have long wished for
something like this in our region.

<p class="MsoNormal">We are in the final stages of creating a
series of outreach exhibit kits that will go to classrooms
with an employee or volunteer to facilitate hands on learning.
I am curious if other museums have similar programs and what,
if anything, you charge for this experience. Thank you for
your assistance!<o:p></o:p></p>
