Looking for GLAM orgs for a grant project on social distancing
UPDATE: This project is now funded! We’re looking for a couple of public libraries and performing arts organizations to round out the group. —Mike, 1 May 2020
A grant proposal I’ve developed with Dana Mitroff Silvers is a finalist to receive a small amount of funding to catalyze the creation of new GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) projects that mitigate the effects of social distancing caused by the Covid-19 crisis.
We’d like to gather a diverse set of 6-12 American GLAMs to participate in the project. Basically, if we get this grant, we would be paying you to get expert design thinking, strategy, and creative-development support.
So if you or someone you know is part of an adventurous, forward-looking American GLAM that is wanting to put some new Covid-related experiments out into the world, but could use some help, please give me a shout at https://usingata.com/contact ! (More info is here.)
