“The goals of the video production are to promote wider integration of the visual arts into school curriculums and demonstrate the vital role art museums like The Phillips Collection can play as a resource for teachers and students,” says Ann Ramsey, president, Backstory Productions, Co-funded by The Phillips Collection and individual donors, the documentary will be used by the museum’s resident educators to support the institution’s efforts to reach out to elementary, middle and high schools nationwide.
A short version of the documentary will also be distributed through YouTube.
