Springfield Museum of Art

The Springfield Museum of Art will develop a model for creating sustainable, audience-focused public programs through a project called "It's Your Art Museum—A Model for Community Involvement." The museum will hire a part-time museum educator and engage the services of a consultant who will conduct community focus groups and work with museum staff and volunteers to develop a model that can be used by staff, volunteers, and interns. Upon completion, this project will improve the quality of the museum visitor experience by presenting learning experiences for different ages and styles of learners that have been developed with community input.
