NASSAU COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART / MARCH 2012 10 Central Islip is one of the many school districts that take advantage of the museum’s educational resources. Central Islip’s English as a Second Language students regularly attend the museum for exhibition tours led by museum educators followed by supervised hands-on artmaking inspired by the works they’ve just seen and heard about. These 5th and 6th graders from Central Islip’s Mulligan Intermediate School attended the Tiffany exhibition. They’ll be returning to see Jim Dine’s sculptures and illustrations. Youngsters from the Center Street School in Herricks Union Free School District visited the Tiffany and Sawaya exhibitions as part of a museum/school collaboration. Director of Education Laura Lynch is shown leading a tour for a very excited group of students. PHOTO BY BILL GRABOWSKI Formatting for Facebook Steven Salzman Saturday, May 12 at 3 p.m. New York artist Steven Salzman, whose works are in the Contemporary Collectors Gallery, discusses his art which draws inspiration from advanced physics and astronomy and embraces today’s social networking technologies. Admission is $15 (members, $5) and includes museum admission. Register at nassaumuseum.org/events. Weekends only there is a $2 parking fee (members, free). EDUCATION Museum Collaborates with JCC to Serve People with Memory Loss The museum’s education staff has teamed with the Sid Jacobson Jewish Community Center in an innovative pilot study to see how discussion of art works can benefit adults with memory loss. Laura Lynch, the museum’s director of education, said that Conversations in the Galleries seeks to use the best of the museum’s and the JCC’s resources to “provide inspiration for rich conversations among a community of active and curious adults.” Participants in Conversations in the Galleries are shown with Museum Educator Rebecca Hirschwerk (far left), SJJCC’s Director of Specialized Senior Services Taylor Herbert (4th from left), the museum’s Director of Education Laura Lynch (5th from left), and Museum Docent Maxine Hersh (2nd from right).
