Citizen Potawatomi Nation

The Citizen Potawatomi Nation will use its grant to assess and improve the lighting of exhibits at the Citizen Potawatomi Nation Cultural Heritage Center (CPNCHC). This project will address three focus areas: First, power usage is a chronic problem at the Center; its power provider frequently orders usage reductions in the summer, at the CPNCHC's busiest time of year. Second, displayed objects are at risk of damage because of lighting that does not meet professional museum standards. And third, the project will help to educate those possessing important collections about lighting and provide affordable strategies for making improvements.
