SAM announces Learning Partnership with University of Melbourne

Shepparton Art Museum (SAM) is pleased to announce a new Learning Partnership with The University of Melbourne. The partnership will support the development of significant Indigenous initiatives and activities, embed teaching and learning opportunities for staff and students and establish a platform for collaborative, interdisciplinary cultural impact research. SAM's commitment to education spans across all ages and education levels. It has a strong dedication to the development of educational programs for primary, secondary and tertiary levels. Staff and students at tertiary level will have access to SAM's collection and research, encouraging professional development opportunities as well as the opportunity to deeply engage with SAM's collection and broader research. SAM Curatorial Assistant Indigenous, Belinda Briggs, will work with the local Indigenous community and Kaiela Arts in partnership with the University on the co-design of the Museum's Indigenous inclusion program along with the development of an Indigenous pathways initiative. The announcement comes at an exciting time for SAM, as progress continues around the new SAM project.
