The museum focuses on 4 broad themes within its exhibits and programs—the arts, <br /> STEM/STEAM education, child health and wellness and emerging literacy. Every aspect of the <br /> current museum was created and built locally, and is infused with the creativity of area artists, <br /> craftspeople, scientists and educators who are passionate about nurturing a child's creativity <br /> and learning through play. The majority of these Curating Creativity workshops will occur in our <br /> Makery, the heartbeat of Kidzu that is dedicated to "maker education." Workshops will <br /> occasionally extend into the larger museum space and program room. <br /> 6. Explain all project activities. <br /> Kidzu will host at least one creativity workshop/day of activities per month for 12 months with <br /> 12 or more visiting creative professionals during the project year. Each professional will work <br /> with Kidzu to develop an interactive workshop or all-day activity that will engage children and <br /> families in "co-creating." While the focus will be primarily on exploring the creative process, <br /> projects may have both a take-home element and a creative work developed collaboratively. <br /> The 'Curating Creativity'programs include: Mix it Up and Makery Masterpieces. <br /> • Mix It Up in The Makery involves local artists, scientists, and makers bringing their <br /> special expertise to The Makery <br /> • Makery Masterpieces programs connects a local artist, craftsperson, and scientist to <br /> Kidzu visitors through the creation of a project based on the Master's area of expertise. <br /> 7. Describe all artists to be involved in the project, how and why they were chosen, and the <br /> rate of payment for their services. If you have not yet selected the artists, describe the kinds <br /> of artists you intend to involve and how you will select them. (Schools, please indicate if you <br /> are working with The ArtsCenter's Arts in School program to secure your artists). Please <br /> include the ethnicity of artists or instructors hired for the project. <br /> Kidzu has implemented the Curating Creativity since opening in our space in University Place, <br /> April 2015. Initial funding came from Strowd Roses with matching funds provided by the Oak <br /> Foundation. <br /> We've welcomed many guest specialists throughout the last two years partnering with well over <br /> 40 local artists, scientists and professionals. Each visiting specialist created innovative activities <br /> and workshops that equally thrilled and challenged our visitors. For example, Stephanie Person <br /> constructed flying machines with the children and Anna Podris created encaustic travel inspired <br /> postcards. A selection of the individuals and organizations are as follows: <br /> • 123 Puppetry i 40)151 <br /> 04•114 cot. 40 L 1 <br /> • Jim Adams -Welding Demonstrations <br /> • American Dance Festival <br /> • Andy Berner- LED Art Workshop 5c0101A0 -f4v1 e, I. <br /> • Jeannette Brossart - Mosaic Artist <br /> , <br /> (gip <br />
