Dear Members of our Museum Community, Welcome to our July edition of "This Month in NYS Museums!" In this newsletter, we extend our congratulations to the twenty seven New York State museums that received SVOG grants totaling just over $63 million. We are grateful for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's support of our sector. Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum's "Activating Smithsonian Open Access" has commissioned seven design teams to develop new digital interactions and innovative tools from the Museum's open access collection that encourage people to engage with the collections beyond a passive looking experience. This past month, Eli McClain, our IMLS Building Capacity Project Fellow and I drove 1,973 miles and visited 15 museums, facilitating 5 workshops for our "Building Capacity, Creating Sustainability, Growing Accessibility" IMLS CARES Act grant project. We're highlighting a few of our participating museums in a new video series and the first is the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts at St. Bonaventure University in Olean, NY. With no gallery space and its building closed to the public, the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts created a virtual studio space and worked with teachers to connect students to art. In this month's Letter from MANY Executive Director Erika Sanger, Erika believes that museum's long-term success will be connected to the ways we keep the learnings of 2020 relevant and puts forward questions to think about for the future. Lastly, we are so excited to travel around the state this fall for our Partnership Forums, Museum & Folk Art Forum, and grant writing workshops. Learn more and register today. We can't wait to see you! Thank you for your support, Megan Eves Marketing & Communications Associate |

Neither category requires matching funds. The “Recovery” grants are a ONE TIME only opportunity. “Support for Organizations” replaces General Operating Support and Project Categories.
