[Scmusenet] Rural SC Museums Can Apply to Host a Smithsonian Exhibit!

[Theresa J. Wallace]

Hello,

 

The Humanities Council SC is pleased to announce a special South Carolina
tour of New Harmonies: Celebrating American Roots Music, an exhibition from
the Smithsonian Institution. Developed as part of the Museum on Main Street
(MOMS) program, this exhibit is designed especially for small museums that
lack regular access to traveling exhibitions due to space and cost
limitations.

 

The exhibit will tour six South Carolina communities from April 2011 -
January 2012. Eligible host sites include small museums, libraries,
historical societies, arts and cultural centers and other community venues
in towns of fewer than 20,000 residents. Applications are now being accepted
and are due by September 30, 2009. Host sites receive free exhibit rental,
free exhibit shipping, a grant to support local community programming,
opportunities for professional development, and more.

 

The application is attached, as is a press release with more information
about the exhibit. Additional information about New Harmonies is available
on the Web site of The Humanities Council SC:

For more information, please contact T.J. Wallace at the phone and email

Thank you!

 

Best regards,

T.J.
