Teachers of all disciplines and grade levels are invited to an evening of great art, music, and camaraderie during the Erie Art Museum’s annual teacher Cabin Fever Getaway on Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2010 from 4-7 p.m. at the Erie Art Museum, 411 State Street. Educators from all disciplines and age levels can earn 3 hours of Act 48 credit.
“We think of it as a way to pamper teachers a bit,” states Kelly Armor, Museum Education Director. “We design the Getaway so they can have fun and get their creative batteries recharged.”
Participants will explore Making It Better: Folk Arts in Pennsylvania Today, and meet artists featured in the exhibit, such as Bosnian ballad singer Mensura Berberovic, stone wall artisan Ken Ely, and Charles Culleiton, sawdust carpet maker.
Registration starts at 3:30 p.m. and the program runs from 4- 7p.m. Teachers are invited to stay for a light supper at Molly Brannigans.
Event sponsors Erie Federal Credit Union and Iadeluca Chiropractic will be giving away special gifts to those in attendance.
Cost is $10 per person in advance or $12 at the door. Contact Jude at the Museum, (814) 459-5477 or email jude@erieartmuseum.org.
