Abstract

Abstract This article presents a descriptive and analytical account of a semester-long partnership between museum educators and high school students piloting the National Coalition for Core Arts Standards Visual Arts Model Cornerstone Assessment. To mentor the students through their task of curating a themed art exhibition of their own work at school, museum educators modelled curatorial strategies, best practices, and lines of questioning that the students later adapted and applied to their own exhibition planning process. The resulting collaboration reveals the deeply authentic, if under-recognized, relationship between curatorial practice and art education practice and offers a compelling case for breaking down traditional barriers between curators and museum educators in order to create a generative space in which to cultivate student curators across multiple disciplines.
