DoSeum

The DoSeum will complete the fabrication of an exhibition designed to equip children with the skills needed to address the future. The project builds on an earlier IMLS grant that generated community input to support the exhibition design, which targets children ages 4-11 and economically disadvantaged students. The museum will host one final community conversation to solicit feedback, using exhibit prototypes and multimedia elements. The museum will work with contractors to fabricate the exhibition and provide training to staff prior to its opening. Formative and summative evaluation will guide the project, allowing for revisions as needed. The exhibition is intended to travel for five years visiting three sites per year, extending its impact to a potential of 15 additional communities.
