Honolulu Museum of Art

Our literary magazine class went to the Honolulu Museum of Art Spalding House (previously known as the Contemporary Museum) for "Words off the wall: an evening of art, literature, and entertainment." It was an art opening for their new show which has everything to do with words and the educational programing director partnered with Mixed Innovative Arts to ensure there were plenty of hands on activities for students.

It was such a joy to go to a museum with students and have people come up to them and ask them to write on things. The Friday night field trip gave students lots of ideas to promote the literary magazine; a word wall with push pins went up in our school hallway the next week!
