With support from the California Arts Council, New Americans Museum will be able to send three of its staff members to the California Association of Museum’s Conference in Palm Springs, California on February 6th – 7th 2018. The theme of the conference is Modern Museums:Relevant and Resilient. This would be a most advantageous professional development opportunity for museum staff, as the museum is currently exploring innovative ways to expand programming beyond the museum’s physical space.
The Museum strives to promote understanding and interaction between newcomers and native-born Americans while helping our newest citizens connect with and prosper in their new homeland.
As a public forum venue, we invite other organizations to partner with the New Americans Museum on programming that may include:
Oral and visual history projects
Visual and performing arts
Cultural events
Lectures and speaker series
Conferences
Exhibitions
Connect, Collect, Convene:
Residents, visitors, scholars and school groups will find the Museum an invaluable gateway to education, exploration, history, international exchange, the arts, and multi-cultural enrichment.
