BEND, Ore. (KTVZ)
Kids Curate, an exhibition created by fifth-grade students from R.E. Jewell Elementary School in Bend, opens Friday, May 7 at the High Desert Museum. Kids Curate is a year-long program that integrates art and science into existing school curriculum and culminates in an exhibition at the museum, this year on display through June 6.
Museum curators work with a different Central Oregon school every year in both the classroom and through field trips to produce an exhibition. The program integrates art, science, history and writing, giving students an opportunity to learn about arts and culture career possibilities while simultaneously exploring the natural world.
