The Shaker Museum and Library requests $10,000 to host two roundtable discussions among humanities professionals, SML staff, and a museum marketing specialist to assist in preliminary planning for the permanent galleries of a new museum at the Mount Lebanon Shaker Village. There will be a large number of public programs and workshops which will build on existing museum programs, and their definition is a part of the current funding request. SML will include in the roundtable discussions a museum marketing specialist because the Museum’s goal is to present the Shakers in a way that expands upon the traditional understanding of Shaker culture and religion, thereby broadening the Museum’s audience, particularly among young adults. |
