COOL CULTURE FAIR 2009–10

On November 16, 2009, the 8th Annual Cool Culture Fair was hosted at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. There were more than 600 attendees; among them, educators, parents, museum representatives, foundations, government officials as well as some of New York’s leading early childhood experts, all exploring the various concepts and strategies that can be used to engage families in order to support children’s learning and cultural enrichment. 

Each year, Cool Culture Fair brings together New York City’s finest cultural institutions with educators of our youngest generation. The event is an opportunity for families and staff, and especially Cultural Liaisons from Cool Culture’s participating programs to learn about the great programs and exhibits that partnering cultural institutions have to offer.

The sixty-one attending cultural institution partners, such as the Museum of Modern Art and the New York Botanical Garden, filled the Intrepid's Exploreum in Hangar 3, eager to disseminate information about their family programs and meet the many Cool Culture Liaisons and early education program guests.
