An Evening for Educators
Sept 10, 2019 | 5-7 pm | Pretoria Fields
The Albany Museum of Art is partnering with other Albany arts and cultural organizations to celebrate a special group—local educators. The event is 5-7 pm on Tuesday, Sept 10, 2019 at Pretoria Fields Brewery, 120 Pine Ave.
This 2nd annual teacher appreciation night will be An Evening for Educators as the AMA teams up with the Albany Civil Rights Institute, the Albany Symphony Orchestra, Chehaw Park, Flint RiverQuarium and Thronateeska Heritage Center to show Albany area educators how much they are valued.
It’s also a chance to acquaint teachers with ways the groups can support their work in the classroom, particularly with STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) educational programs.
“This is an opportunity for Albany’s arts and cultural groups to show educators what we can do to help them as they educate tomorrow’s leaders,” AMA Director of Education and Public Programming Director Annie Vanoteghem said. “It’s especially appropriate that this event is occurring during National Arts in Education Week.”
Evan Barber will provide musical entertainment and food trucks will be on hand as educators learn what Albany’s arts and cultural organizations have to offer in support of local classrooms. All teachers who attend will participate in a raffle from each institution, receive discounts on beverages, and have the opportunity to unwind and just have some fun and relaxation.
Admission is free for educators and their families with presentation of teacher ID.
