Presenter(s): 

Elizabeth (Elee) Wood, Nadine and Robert A. Skotheim Director of Education and Public Programs, The Huntington
Elizabeth Gerber, Senior Educator, Programs and Engagement, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)

Track: 

  • Community Engagement, Visitor Experience

Learning Format: Active Learning

Learn how to create a responsive program - a term to describe events created in response to visitor needs and behaviors. Rather than solely creating programs born from the museum's initiatives, responsive programs - whether about wellness, activism, or access - center visitor engagement. Attendees will participate in a short responsive program, hear examples from SAM, LACMA, and The Huntington, then engage in a workshop to create a responsive program for their organizations.
