Conversation with Safiyah Cheatam
The students were honored to have Safiyah Cheatham in for a Conversation. Safiyah works at Baltimore’s Walters Art Museum building youth and community programming and involvement in the museum. Along with her husband, Dan, she also operates Islam and Print, an organization that brings together artists from the Islamic community for both networking and learning how to produce and market prints of their work.
The Conversation explored the students’ interest in art and experience with museums. Safiyah shared her background and her work building teen programming at the Walters. She invited the students to take part in the programs including aa monthly art class and a special Saturday program full of activities on October 4th.
It was an enjoyable Conversation and we are looking forward to working closely with Safiyah during this year.
