Silverwood Park Residency – 1.5 hours
This week I was able to meet with David Donovan, the Program Coordinator at Silverwood Park to discuss the schedule for my residency there this semester. I was able to meet some of the staff and tour the gallery and classroom spaces (as well as other park amenities including the café and event hall). This was my first visit to the park and it was a great experience to get acquainted with the wonderful area and people.
One of our goals was to set up my schedule. Though I will be assisting with several on and off-site programs, I was able to hear in-depth about two monthly programs that Silverwood offers. One of the educators that I met was Seth Eberle who I spoke with about SPARK! which is for people living with memory loss and their care partners, and Ned the Naturalist which is a free family event with a puppet show, art activity, and nature walk. I am excited to begin assisting with classes at Silverwood in the upcoming weeks!
