Devin Graham serves as the Museum Educator for Children and Family at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, where he passionately champions the belief that "art matters." In this contracted role, Devin co-plans and develops innovative program curricula designed to engage children aged 6 to 12, drawing inspiration from the dynamic works on view in the museum's galleries. His expertise in art history and familiarity with gallery design and exhibition spaces allow him to create immersive educational experiences that foster creativity and critical thinking among young learners.
One of Devin's key achievements includes the co-creation of the EduCare Program in January 2015, which has become a cornerstone of the museum's educational outreach. This program not only emphasizes the importance of art in personal and communal narratives but also promotes inclusivity and accessibility for families from diverse backgrounds. Through workshop development and facilitation, Devin cultivates an environment where children can explore their artistic potential while learning about contemporary art in a hands-on manner.
In addition to his curriculum development skills, Devin is adept at grant writing, which has been instrumental in securing funding for various educational initiatives. His proficiency in Adobe Photoshop enhances his ability to create visually engaging materials that resonate with both children and their families. With a strong foundation in volunteer management and research, Devin ensures that each program is well-supported and enriched with relevant content. Ultimately, his commitment to art education not only nurtures the next generation of artists and art enthusiasts but also reinforces the vital role that contemporary art plays in shaping our understanding of the world.
