Curating Connections: Pairing Artworks and Stories

How can placing two artworks in conversation with one another deepen our understanding of history and the American experience? Join educators from the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Portrait Gallery for this interactive workshop that invites you to think like a curator. Following a guided analysis of two artworks in the galleries and a hands-on curation activity, you'll leave with new ideas and resources for the classroom.
