Zoë Fejeran
she/her, Museum Educator & Community Engagement Specialist
About
Zoë serves as Museum Educator & Community Engagement Specialist for WWU's Western Gallery & Outdoor Sculpture Collection. She received her Master of Arts in Art Education with a Museum Focus from the University of Texas at Austin. Her research investigated the intersections of critical theory and diversity, equity, accessibility and inclusion (DEAI) in art museum education and programming; areas of study that continue to shape her practice today. A WWU Art History alum, Zoë is passionate about utilizing exhibitions, permanent collections, and public artworks to create engaging and unexpected learning experiences for Western's Students.
Her role at the Western Gallery includes teaching from rotating exhibitions and permanent collections to university classes, Pre-K-12 students, and community groups. This includes teaching and mentoring a cohort of Museum Studies Minor interns throughout the academic year. She also coordinates public programming at the Western Gallery, emphasizing interdisciplinary connections to the works on display. In the fall of 2025, Zoë's position was expanded to better serve the operational needs of the gallery. She now works closely with the Western Gallery Director and CFPA's Dean's Suite to support fiscal goals and community engagement, while fostering partnerships to elevate the Gallery’s public impact.
She carries the foundational belief that—regardless of the environment in which it exists—art offers an empathic means to navigate the spectrum of human similarity, difference, and lived experience.
