David M. Guss (Project Director: May 2020 to March 2022)

The retention of the museum’s assistant director and cultural assistant, as well as humanities and technical consultants, to continue digital humanities programming and prepare a new exhibition for 2021.

As the only membership supported, community-based cultural institution of its kind in Somerville Massachusetts, the Somerville Museum is the City's mirror, playing a central role in preserving the past, reflecting the present, and helping to shape the future of this diverse urban community of 79,000. Through its innovative programming, the Museum seeks to engage our audience in an on-going dialogue with local scholars, artists and educators with the larger aim of fostering cultural education and understanding. This grant would support the Somerville Museum's efforts to continue humanities programming online from June 15, 2020 through December 31, 2020 and prepare a new exhibit for re-opening and welcoming visitors.
