FAIN: ZPP-283722-22

Westcott House Foundation (Springfield, OH 45505-1166)
Marta Wojcik (Project Director: May 2021 to present)

The development and production of a series of videos, tours, and lectures about the Westcott House and the local Springfield, Ohio, community.

We seek NEH support for our humanities full-time position of executive director & curator that is critical to our mission. We also seek NEH support toward engaging a total of 16 humanities scholars and recent humanities graduates in order to sustain our core humanities programs, and advance a new program to significantly enhance the public engagement. We strongly believe that now, more than ever, the Westcott House needs to strive for excellent results that creatively disrupt our field and push the boundaries of what is expected of a small museum like ours. Through our public programs, we strive to bring hope and resilience to our community of lifelong learners.
