We are looking for YOUR ideas about sessions for #NEMA2024! The theme of this year's conference, taking place November 6-8 in Newport, RI is "We the Museum: Toward a 'More Perfect' Vision for our Changing World." As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, now is a time to reflect on both the origin of America’s museums, and consider the field not only in its current state, but where it has grown from the past, and what it can be in the future. Just as America was by no means perfect at its inception, neither was the museum field. While the U.S. Constitution seeks a “more perfect union,” how can we work towards a “more perfect” museum world? How can we be better, if perfection is out of reach? Do you have a great idea for a session unrelated to the conference theme? We want to hear those too! Submit your session proposals by March 29, 2024.

Employee friendly, collaborative effort, environmentally sustainable, appropriately aligned to tourist seasons, immersive local community engagement - the slow-museum model seems to have it all; but not without its challenges! With concerns of waitlisting in terms of booking exhibitions or artwork donations, artists' resentments, job cuts etc., I really like how the article highlights that the model still paves way for in-depth conversations and consciousness art consumption. As a fan of slow living and relishing art, slowly and meaningfully, a yay from me!

Trust is a powerful word, especially when it comes to museums. But what happens when 'trust' becomes something we actively promote rather than something we quietly earn? Amanda Krantz's article challenges the comfort many find in labeling museums as 'trusted' institutions. Her reflections urge us to reconsider how we talk about trust in the museum sector—highlighting the delicate balance between influence and responsibility. Amanda's piece reminds us that trust isn't a label to be worn proudly, but a dynamic relationship to be continuously nurtured. https://lnkd.in/gGVgNbsY #LearningHub #insight #MuseumInsight

Is slow the new fast? Imagine a museum where you can breathe and truly appreciate the art, not just race through a checklist of exhibits. That's the idea behind the hot new trend of "slow museums." Slow museums are all about quality over quantity. They showcase fewer collections but invest more time and energy into making each one unforgettable. It's not just about the paintings (though those are still awesome!). Slow museums are also upping the game on events and workshops. Imagine chatting with the artist, learning a new skill, or participating in discussions about the art. With the rise of slow museums, we gotta wonder: is less truly more for museums? Could this be the key to a deeper connection with art and culture? Would you rather have a curated, in-depth experience or the variety of a traditional museum? 👇 #MuseumExperience #ArtAndCulture #CultureShift
