About Darrick Wood

I am a divergent thinker and creative solver, with a focus on finding ways to help people connect in meaningful ways. With over 20 years of experience in various learning environments, I am a passionate and versatile educator, trainer, writer, and speaker. I have worked with students and teachers from K-12 to adult, formal and informal, online and in-person, radio and tv, on four continents, and with diverse backgrounds, abilities, and learning needs. At the Speed Art Museum, I create engaging experiences for people of all ages, designed to help develop a personal and sincere sense of belonging in art museums. I am also the creator and host of \"Inside A Question\", a live, interactive radio show that sparks curiosity and exploration. I am a recipient and alumni of the Hadley Creatives Award, supporting innovative and adventurous artists who are at a pivotal point in their careers. My mission is to work with passionate individuals on unique projects that inspire people to explore their world. Let\'s create something together!
