Allen Sapp Gallery launches new online and virtual school program
The Allen Sapp Gallery has announced the launch of their newly developed online and virtual school program, Living on the Land: The Art of Allen Sapp.
The program includes a live tour with gallery staff, and invites students to view and respond to the art of Allen Sapp while exploring the thought process behind the artwork. There will then be a hands-on activity for the class to take part in, along with follow-up resource material for in the classroom.
Curator and manager of galleries with the city, Leah Garven, said the idea for the virtual programing came about as a way to continue to engage with schools and classrooms throughout the area, even amidst the pandemic.
“We’ve been working the last few months on developing an online and virtual school program in response to the fact that schools aren’t doing field trips, as those are a big part of our visitation at the Allen Sapp Gallery,” she said. “We have a strong base in school programing and we look forward to reconnecting with teachers and students again.”
