In celebration of 120 years of the NYC subway, the New York Transit Museum (NYTM) presents its latest exhibition, “The Subway Is…” which is featured in amNY Newspaper.   AEA worked with NYTM last year to create a strategic plan to enhance its impact and role in telling the story of the importance of public transportation for New York.   Our work began with stakeholder interviews and surveys, research, and case studies as inputs into a process with stakeholders that refined the Museum's mission and vision and explored how to address current opportunities and challenges by generating initiatives about how NYTM can reach new audiences, produce impactful and creative programming, and further its financial and organizational capacities.

The Financial Times’s ariella budick writes on ‘Why Buffalo AKG Art Museum Museum is New York’s next cultural destination’.   Following a “ravishing” $230m restoration, the museum, formerly the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, is positioned as a key part of Buffalo's growing place as an arts destination.   AEA has had the honor of working with the Buffalo AKG on a number of occasions, beginning in 2008 when AEA worked with the board and senior management on strategic facilities planning for the Gallery as it considered an expansion. This was followed in 2017 for an audience analysis project and in 2018 for a business and operating plan that leveraged the audience analysis to help the museum plan for both the post-opening and project period.    We're happy to see both the AKG and Buffalo receive this well-deserved international attention!
