Meet Kristin Scarola

I am a creative professional with a background in visual arts, musical improvisation, oral history, and cultural studies, whose expertise has been channeled into education.

I am passionate about and committed to nurturing creativity, introspection, personal growth, and striving towards a more equitable and just world through museum and art education. I love my career and am grateful that my work is challenging, joyful, spiritually fulfilling, personally meaningful and impactful to communities.

My M.A. entitled “Critical Studies and Creative Ethnography” was obtained from The Gallatin School of Individualized Study at New York University.

Testimonials

  • I had the privilege of working with Kristin for nearly six years at the Bronx Children's Museum in her capacity as our Early Childhood Education Consultant. Though Kristin's main focus was on supporting our small education team in creating, leading, and evaluating programs for 3K-3rd grade audiences, her expertise in staff development, exhibit development, and audience research were integral in assisting the museum in moving from an outreach organization to a brick-and-mortar building at the end of those six years.

  • Kristin's uncompromising support of diversity in education, enrichment of communities of color and her innovative scope of using arts and culture, to teach tutor and train early childhood learners and school and family program communities has been a professional inspiration to me in my work as an arts administrator and museum director.

    MONICA MONTGOMERY, SOCIAL JUSTICE CURATOR

  • I've had the pleasure of working closely with Kristin on Cool Culture's professional development workshop series. Kristin has been able to pick up quickly on the needs and strengths of our early childhood professionals and adapt it into our workshops. I greatly appreciate her reflective and thoughtful process and the valuable contributions she has made to our team and program.
