A huge shout out to Jason Vasser-Elong from the Contemporary Art Museum St Louis, as well as Latausha Cox and Amy Torbert from the St. Louis Art Museum for speaking with our 7th grade classes. Each class is learning about the Harlem Renaissance and will be researching and curating an exhibit about an artist, poet, singer, dancer, or writer that was active during this time. These speakers gave our students tips on where to begin when curating an exhibit and lead a discussion about this amazing time period!
