Sunsetting your Site
Closing a museum is part of the museum lifecycle. Museums close for many reasons: lack of funding, accrued debts, loss of board or staff, dwindling visitation, lack of community support, and even natural disasters. It is important to have a plan in place before you need it to help ease this challenging, costly, and time-consuming situation.
The Pathways pilot program is a year-long process that will support arts, culture, and heritage practitioners to learn, reflect and integrate equity and access more deeply into their work. Participants will be supported with individualized learning plans, peer networks and one-on-one guidance.
