New Orleans African American Museum

The New Orleans African American Museum of Art, Culture, and History will enhance its institutional capacity and sustainability by recruiting, hiring, and providing professional development opportunities for a curator of collections to develop and direct its collections management program and a museum educator to coordinate and manage educational programs. The museum will partner with the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute and the Historic New Orleans Collection in a structured mentoring program, which will be developed and monitored by two consulting museum professionals. The mentoring program will include a series of site visits and training sessions. The entire staff will engage in effective strategic planning and professional training in best practices to build the long-term capacity of the institution to serve its community.
