Sangre de Cristo Arts & Conference Center is awarded opportunity to participate in a National Cohort to make Math fun!
Pueblo’s own Buell Children’s Museum at the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center is among an elite few who were chosen from across the country to be included in this cohort to help create fun and lasting edu-tainment surrounding math literacy. The impact of early math literacy is crucial for supporting children’s development and setting them up for a bright future. By starting early, making math fun, and including parents/caregivers—all areas in which children’s museums excel—we can create a world where everyone feels confidence in their abilities to do math.
Nurturing Numeracy Skills and Math Literacy in Children’s Museums aims to support caregivers and children in their math confidence and math skills through experiences at children’s museums. The Association of Children’s Museums or ACM, through a grant from Simons Foundation International administered by the Simons Foundation’s Science, Society & Culture division, is pleased to announce the cohort of twenty museums to participate in this program and develop engaging and effective interventions to achieve this goal.
The Nurturing Numeracy Skills & Math Literacy in Children’s Museums cohort will convene a diverse group of smaller museum professionals for collaborative learning, idea generation, and engagement. “The Buell Children’s Museum is proud to join this cohort said Manager of Collections and Curation, Karen Foglesong, this year is the Buell Children’s Museum’s 25th anniversary and this is perfect timing to celebrate all the joyful learning that has happened here and to inaugurate the next 25 years of learning to come!”

Sangre de Cristo Arts & Conference Center opened its doors in 1972 and has been serving the Pueblo community for over 50 years. Offering a wide variety of classes in the arts for both children and adults, an ever-expanding roster of art exhibits displayed in their many galleries, a gorgeous 500-seat theater where there isn’t a bad seat in the house, and the acclaimed School of Dance, the arts center is considered “the crown jewel” of downtown Pueblo. The three-building campus gives the impression of grace, beauty, and artistic excellence.
The Buell Children’s Museum opened for experiences in 2000 and has helped many young families find a safe place to learn, have fun and grow. Celebrating 25 years of family engagement, the Buell will continue to foster learning and play for generations to come.
