Cool Culture Fair 2008 - 2009

On March 26, 2009, the South Street Seaport Museum at Schermerhorn Row housed over 450 Culture Fair participants; among them, educators, parents, museum representatives, as well as some of New York’s finest artists, all exploring how to create teachable moments and everyday learning experiences for young children as part of not only their visits to cultural institutions but also to utilize in their everyday lives.

Each year, Cool Culture Fair brings together New York City’s finest cultural institutions with educators of our youngest generation. The event is an opportunity for families and staff, and especially Cultural Liaisons from Cool Culture’s participating centers to learn about the great programs and exhibits that partnering institutions have to offer.

The fifty-three attending cultural institution partners, such as the Museum of Modern Art and the New York Botanical Garden, filled two rooms with booths at the Seaport Museum, eager to disseminate information about their family programs and meet the many Cool Culture liaisons and early education center guests.
