Select a public program at a gallery / museum with which you are familiar (and perhaps at which you work). Develop and outline your plan considering the following:
What is the purpose of your program (ie: what do you want the participants to learn/experience?) and who is/are your target audience/s?
What theoretical underpinnings do you consider to be appropriate for your program?
Consider the elements of the program that you think would be most appropriate to help visitors have an enjoyable learning experience.
What considerations do you need to make to suit the age, experiences, interests, physical needs of the audience?
What would be an appropriate length/scope for the program?
What staff would be needed/involved and what training/expertise would they need?
What materials would be needed?
How does the program link to the museum’s holdings/exhibits?
Consider costs and feasibility of these costs.
