Sally Lindsay, Associate Curator of Education, was recognized in November 2005 as the AAEA [Arizona Art Education Association] Art Museum Educator of the Year! She also has been nominated as the National Art Education Association's Pacific Region Museum Educator of the Year.

Sally is most deserving of the award. In addition to the wonderful work she does for SMoCA, she has served for several years as the museum education representative on the AAEA state council. Throughout her long tenure here, Sally has quite literally built up our youth programs from almost nothing to a broad, rich educational offering that touches the lives of many youths each year. In particular through: Visions; Arts Days (and the preparation of lesson plans for teachers that integrate arts into the curriculum); ArtStart (as a result of a dynamic partnership she struck up with Head Start centers in Scottsdale and the Alhambra School District); the stellar exhibitions in the young@art gallery; and the 21st Century Community Learning Grant program, which provides an after-school arts program for hundreds of students in underperforming school in Phoenix. While assistant director of education at the SCA, she created and ran Cool Kids Camp; Celebration of the Arts for Children with Disabilities; Cultural Connections; the young@art gallery; and many other programs.
