Faculty Mentor(s) Name(s)
Sandra Trujillo, James Winchester, Sunita Manian
Abstract
The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Art & Leadership Program was founded in 1988 to foster leadership, confidence, self-esteem, and self-expression in middle school girls. Today, the program welcomes all genders and focuses on the exploration of creativity through art making, music, creative writing, and self-expression. In the program, students experiment with a variety of mediums, learn about different artists, and visit historical landmarks within New Mexico. The program is free to all students and workshops are led by museum staff and assisted by interns. Interns are selected through an interview progress and funded by the Kappa Delta Foundation and the Georgia O’Keeffe foundation. Internships at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum are given the opportunity to network with other New Mexico museum professionals and contribute by developing lesson plans. My research will expand upon the contributions and experiences of my role as an intern within the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Art & Leadership Program. I will write about Georgia O’Keeffe, the Museum and programming, and my contributions to youth programs. My goal is to actively keep Georgia O'Keeffe's legacy alive through cultivating talent, diligence, confidence, and leadership in New Mexico's youth.
