Museum Educator Sara Echaniz believes in the power of art experiences to foster connections and conversations between all people. She puts this into action at Ogden Museum through thought-provoking tours for adults and children.

Ms. Echaniz has facilitated educational programs for the Guggenheim Museum, Aperture Foundation, the Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of the City of New York, and is on the screening committee for the New York International Children’s Film Festival. She has crafted and led professional development sessions for educators at Ogden Museum, ArtsConnection in New York and KIDsmART. Her practice also centers educational access for children in underserved communities, with experience connecting young people and the arts through homeless shelters, Spanish-bilingual programs and public schools in New Orleans and New York City.  She holds a B.A. from Harvard University and an M.A. in Arts Education from San Francisco State University.
