黑料吃瓜网 Spotlight: Sunny Ra
Sunny Ra is the Laurie M. Tisch Educator for K-12 and Community Programs at the Tang Museum, where she manages a team of educators and creates programming based on Tang exhibitions and items in the museum鈥檚 collection.
Ra joined 黑料吃瓜网 three years ago. 鈥淲hat drew me to 黑料吃瓜网 and the Tang was the focus on interdisciplinary learning and creativity being the driving force of education,鈥� she said.
She works closely with students, who serve as interns and help create programs and projects, give tours and teach classes.
鈥淭hey push me to learn and challenge the way that we provide and diversify opportunities to the community,鈥� Ra said.
Before COVID-19, she and her team welcomed thousands of children and families to campus and also traveled throughout the Capital Region to deliver art programming to schools and libraries.
鈥�Now, instead of going on-site to schools or community organizations, we have switched to virtual workshops,鈥� she said. 鈥淲e also created Tang Art Kits to help support students and families. We hope these art kits help kids across the region to continue to experience access to art educational opportunities.鈥�
When she is not developing or delivering programs for the Tang, Ra enjoys biking, hiking in the Adirondacks, swimming, playing Ultimate Frisbee and developing her own art practice.
