Join Dianne Sanchez, Director of Learning and Engagement, for an evening of artmaking, conversation, and community. Educators of all subjects are invited to this open-ended gathering, which will focus on camaraderie and creative exchange in a relaxed, supportive environment.
Enjoy refreshments as we connect, make art together, and discuss topics and ideas you’d like the museum to explore in future Educator Nights.
This event begins at 5pm at the Hailey Classroom.
About SVMoA Educator Evenings
Open to educators of all subject areas, Educator Evening is a FREE professional development series occurring monthly. Blaine County educators may receive in-service (continuing education) hours for their participation.

Join educators, visiting artists, and Museum staff for in-person presentations, discussion, and activity based on current exhibitions at SVMoA and connections to the National Core Arts Standards and Idaho Content Standards. Develop curricular connections and gain tools, strategies, and thinking routines for integrating art and objects into everyday classroom learning. Participate in a professional learning community of supportive and reflective educational practitioners, and have some fun!
Topics include:
- Art integration vs. Art enhancement
