With over 50 contributors representing 20 countries, the book considers how museums can be relevant to youth audiences through the development and implementation of programs that respond to their interests and needs and are grounded in cultural contexts. Program outcomes explored include developing young artists, civic engagement, LGBTQIA+ advocacy, and multiple language learners. As a whole, the volume demonstrates how museums are creating engaging, enriching programs that enable youth to more deeply understand themselves, their culture, and the world around them. The editors and contributors show that if museums can plan and deliver the right kind of offerings, they will find that youth are curious, creative, and resilient. They will also discover that youth have the potential to become lifelong, engaged participants in their own art, culture, and communities-in turn helping museums to be more inclusive, responsive, and community-oriented.
Youth Programs in Art Museums will appeal to academics and students engaged in the study of museums, art, and education. It will also be of interest to museum professionals as well as professionals interested in working with youth in after-school settings.
