Cindy Ingram

Cindy Ingram has the awkward habit of crying in front of artworks and wants the rest of the world to do it too. This noble quest has culminated in the creation of The Art Class Curator. With an MA in Art Education and a BA in Art History, she has more than fifteen years of teaching experience in schools, museums, and non-profit organizations. She has been a Marcus Fellow, a fellowship dedicated to arts leadership from the North Texas Institute for Educators on the Visual Arts. In addition to working in museums and teacher professional development, she has taught art in the classroom to all grades–elementary to college.In response to our recent health crisis, Cindy organized an online conference for art educators, called the Art Un-Conference with over 40 presenters in the span of a week!
