This workshop will present examples of exhibits and programs that not only attract new audiences, but actively involve them in the museum. Trustees from diverse communities will share their successes and frustrations working to build mutually rewarding relationships with new communities while continuing to serve established audiences. Participants will learn how to assess their current situation and chart a course for the future of their institution using a special trustee version of the American Association of Museum's New Visions process. Workshop Format Half-day interactive sessions on key trustee issues. Each program includes presentations by MTA staff or consultants and local museum leaders.
Participants benefit from the opportunity to discuss issues with peers in a comfortable setting.
Resource packets will be provided that include readings, bibliographies and practical tools that can be tailored to the needs of individual museums. Three to four hours. You might consider co-sponsoring a session with other institutions in your area.
