What’s a Pop Up Museum?
A Pop Up Museum is a temporary exhibit created by the people who show up to participate. It works by choosing a theme and venue and then inviting people to bring an object on-topic to share, like a community show-and-tell. Each participant writes a label for his or her object and puts it on display. A Pop Up Museum usually lasts for a few hours on one day, and focuses on bringing people together in conversation through stories, art, and objects. There are many ways to have a Pop Up Museum. And anyone can have one.

Anyone attending the conference is invited to bring an object related to your journey into art education to share, like a community show-and-tell!
Example questions to consider:
- What is your first memory of art class?
- What made you decide you wanted to be an art educator? When did you decide?
- Who was an impactful teacher in your life? What did you learn from them?
- Why are you an art educator?
When & Where:
There will be a table set up Friday morning so you can check in your object and create a label. Come back later to see what others have brought to share and remember to take your object home with you when you leave!
