The S.B. Questionnaire: Sheila Cushman
Talking Tenacity with the Leader of Santa Barbara’s New Children’s Museum
I first met the very tenacious Sheila Cushman 12 years ago, when she was the director of education at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History and wanted to find ways to collaborate with the film fest. She’s very polite and soft spoken, but there’s a steady determination in her manner. When she gets an idea or project in mind, there’s no stopping her.
That resolve is the reason why a new children’s museum broke ground in Santa Barbara this past October. Located at 125 State Street, MOXI: The Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation will open its doors in the summer of 2016 and feature interactive exhibits that will inspire curiosity for science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math to children ages “1 to 92.”
Below, Sheila, who’s definitely always had plenty of “moxie” herself, answers the Proust questionnaire.
