Interns under the direction of Education Curator Viki Thompson Wylder interact with gifted elementary students from 2nd to 5th grade who are curating an exhibition from MoFA’s Permanent Collection this Spring. The bulk of their exhibition will be virtual – placed on their school website – but a handful of works will be loaned to secure offices at their school. In successive field trips to MoFA, students are introduced to the Permanent Collection and their individual research artworks are selected. The field trips also involve the exhibitions on display at MoFA over the course of the academic year: through scavenger-hunt exercises, curatorial skills are reinforced. Each student who entered the Collection depot was accompanied by an adult, generally an intern or volunteer. MoFA interns will put together a small “catalogue” for the elementary-student curated exhibition; the texts of elementary-student research are as surprising to parents and gra tifying to educators as they are charming for all readers.
