In review mode at this year’s review meeting! ✨✏️

Earlier this month, we gathered in Harlem to thoughtfully read and discuss each proposal submitted. The care, rigor, and intention in the room reflected the brilliance of our museum educator community.

Thank you to everyone who submitted! Your ideas, research, and practices made for rich conversation and meaningful consideration.

We were also grateful to spend time with the exhibition currently on view featuring the work of pioneering artwork of artist, educator, and activist Tom Lloyd - an inspiring close to a day grounded in light and possibility. 💫

Thank you to the Studio Museum for hosting us! Stay tuned for more info on the NYCMER 2026 conference coming soon!
