Vote Now: Creativity Incubator Hits Western New York!
Get ready, Western New York! NYSCA and Greater Hudson Heritage Network's Creativity Incubator workshop series is coming to a museum near you this spring.
Creativity Incubator invites staff in museums to test out experimental interpretive approaches to keep exhibitions fresh and relevant and take bold steps to keep up with the times. As part of this hands-on experience, the host site will have their collections or permanent installations re-imagined by creative thinkers in the field and session participants.
The next incubator takes place May, 1 and the site is up to you. Vote on the sites below and register via GHHN's website or Facebook:
