Virtual Programming Project

FAIN: ZED-284075-22

New York Transit Museum (Brooklyn, NY 11201-5106)
Jennifer Kalter (Project Director: May 2021 to present)

Retention of 14 employees who develop and administer the museum’s virtual humanities programming and outreach initiatives.

Friends of the New York Transit Museum will develop, assess, and refine virtual humanities programs in the following areas: School and Group Programs; Access Programs; Family Programs; and Public Programs. These activities allow us to engage people who do not visit the physical Museum, whether because of distance, physical accessibility issues, or other reasons. The Museum must continue to serve these constituents, while concurrently thinking critically and collaboratively about how to deepen the impact of our virtual humanities activities and connect with new audiences. We will approach the project as a way to continue to build virtual communities, and design and modify program offerings in collaboration with the communities we hope to serve.
