Barbara Blaisdell, Community Outreach Educator
|
|
After retiring from a teaching career spanning over three decades, Barbara Blaisdell shows no interest in slowing down. Since 2010, she’s been working with the Museum’s Director of Community Outreach, Leah Oppenheimer, to create and teach programming for Spanish-speaking families in the area. What started as a small early literacy class has blossomed into an after school science program that now requires a wait list. We recently spoke with Barbara about her “retirement,” how she came to the Museum, and why she finds the work so rewarding.

David Demers, Featured Artist at the Children's Museum
|
|
As a long-time resident of East Hampton, much of David Demers‘ work (a collection of which is currently on display at the Museum) is inspired by the East End’s celebrated landscapes. From the oceans and beaches to the farms and fields, his abstract and colorful canvases emphasize flow, organic shapes and layering to evoke the area's abundance of natural beauty. Recently, Mr. Demers was kind enough to offer some irreverent views about being an artist.
