Recently, Brandi Breslin, Director of Education at Penn State’s Palmer Museum of Art, visited BAHS to talk about various careers in art and museums. Students learned about the various careers and how they played a part in the design and building in the new Palmer Museum of Art.
Prior to assuming this position in 2018, Breslin served as a museum educator at the University of Florida’s Harn Museum of Art from 2002-2018. Breslin is responsible for designing and managing museum programs that engage a diverse array of audiences, including faculty and students at Penn State, preK-12 students and educators, families and children, volunteer groups, and community members. She also collaborates with museum staff, faculty, and other educators to develop in-gallery interpretive strategies and digital content, and she leads a team of graduate assistants and undergraduate interns who contribute remarkable talent, skills, and dedication to supporting museum exhibitions and programs.
In 2018, Breslin’s book “ABC: Art by the Letter” was published in conjunction with an exhibition and multi-dimensional program to engage more than five hundred pre-K visitors in an art museum experience. This project exemplifies Breslin’s dedication to the belief that art and museums are for everyone
