Islamic Art and Culture Workshop at the Nasher Museum

This is most useful for those in the Triangle area.  Still, it's a great workshop, and might inspire you to make a road trip!

Introduction to Islamic Art
Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University
September 25, 4-7 pm

Join K-12 educators to learn how you can bring Islamic art and culture into your classroom! The program will include slide lectures, hands-on art activities, creative writing and performances by local musicians and dancers. This workshop will focus on the exhibition Doris Duke’s Shangri La: Architecture, Landscape, and Islamic Art.

Guest speaker Glaire Anderson, associate professor of art history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will provide an introduction to Islamic art and the exhibition. This FREE program will also include a live performance, time to explore the exhibition independently and a light reception. Participants will receive partial CEU credit and interdisciplinary curriculum-based materials.
