JOIN A WORLD-RENOWNED SLATE OF EXPERTS IN AREAS SUCH AS EARLY LEARNING, MUSEOLOGY, THE VALUE OF PLAY, AND MORE!

On December 4–5, 2019, the Canadian Children’s Museum is holding a Symposium on Family Learning, Inclusion and the Value of Play in Museums at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Quebec.

This is a practical-demonstration workshop for best practices in documenting artwork. We will review essential concepts: how the camera works and possible ways to photograph two- and three-dimensional artwork, either with a professional camera or with a smartphone. Light, space setting, equipment, and post-production will be considered, along with tips and tricks to make documenting your work an easy process. 

The Rozsa Foundation provides professional development for arts managers at all stages. As such, we have added the following online course to our offerings for the first-time, giving arts administrators across Canada an online offering in professional development through partnership with the University of Calgary - Haskayne Executive Education.
