The retention of five staff members to produce a variety of humanities-based online programming for adults and children.

The Katonah Museum of Art (KMA) seeks funding support so that its staff can effectively develop, record and make publicly available humanities-based content during the proposed project period of June 15 – December 31, 2020. The goal is to transfer the KMA’s core activities—exhibitions and their accompanying public programs and education outreach—onto online platforms so that they can be experienced virtually by the public. Activities will include online exhibitions with accompanying interactive discussions between the public and artists or scholars, interviews, panel discussions and virtual studio visits and tours. The KMA will also engage children in arts-based learning through downloadable videos and activities, online curriculum for school partners and a combination of virtual and printed materials for underserved populations.
