Creativity is precisely what we need at times of great change. The volatility of the world we navigate today demands a set of behaviors like tolerance for ambiguity, wonder, curiosity, imagination, and play. Cindy Meyers Foley outlines how teachers from all subject areas can apply the tools of art education to develop thriving cultures of creativity in classrooms and the entire school. She demonstrates how the willingness to model curiosity and enable a type of thinking that imagines the world’s possibilities can lead to a more beautiful, just, and equitable society.
Cindy Meyers Foley is the executive deputy director for learning and experience at the Columbus Museum of Art. She envisioned and led the charge to open the 18,000 sq. ft. award-winning Center for Creativity in 2011. Foley has been on the Harvard Project Zero Classroom Summer Institute faculty and regularly keynotes various museum, art, and education conferences. In November 2014, she was a TEDx Columbus Speaker presenting “Teaching Art or Teaching to Think like an Artist.” In 2016, she was asked to retake the TEDx stage to present “The Benefits of Boredom.” In 2018, Foley received the Ohio Distinguished Educator for Art Education award.
