The retention of the executive director and the hiring of an exhibition assistant to research and plan an exhibit about natural and manmade disasters in California, which will go on tour to community museums and libraries.

In response to the coronavirus pandemic, we are proposing the creation and tour of an educational exhibition related to the impact of natural and manmade disasters and pandemics in California. In partnership with multiple art, history, and science museums, as well as an outside scholar, this new traveling exhibition will use the humanities to give context to the impact of the coronavirus and other recent and historic disasters in the West.
