Call for Proposals
for the
2010 CARE Marketplace of Ideas
Held at the AAM
Annual Meeting and MuseumExpo™
2010
Monday, May 24, 2010 from 3:30-5:30 p.m. in Petree Hall at the
Los Angeles Convention Center, Los Angeles, California
Deadline
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2010
To CARE Marketplace Chair Kathleen Tinworth
Theme
Inspired by the AAM 2010 Annual Meeting theme, "Museums Without
Borders," the CARE Marketplace of Ideas will showcase how audience
research and evaluation act as a catalyst for connections and community --
illuminating what we, as museum professionals, need to better understand
our visitors within our ever-changing vision for the future, and what
visitors of all ages, backgrounds, nationalities and locations need to
better understand themselves and one another through the museum
medium.
Purpose
The purpose of the CARE Marketplace is:
To showcase audience research and evaluation
work currently being undertaken in and for museums To encourage museums of all sizes and types
to engage in audience research and evaluation To present information on the related areas
of museum audiences and museum programs and exhibitions, to encourage
museum professionals to seek generalizations, trends, and principles
that can guide efforts to improve practice To feature studies and programming responding
to community or contemporary issues, programming beyond the walls of
the museum, innovative museum/community partnerships, and the use
of technology to reach new audiences.
Presenters
Museum staff, consultants, museum studies faculty, and students who have
done work on visitor studies, audience research and evaluation, and museum
education are encouraged to share their findings. For those presenters who
plan to attend ONLY on Monday (the day of the Marketplace), complimentary
day registration will be available; please indicate on the submission form
if you desire a pass for Monday.
Presentation
Each presenter will prepare a poster or other form of display,
handouts, and other materials as relevant. Displays will be on view
concurrently during the one hour session. Participants will be invited to
walk from display to display, read the posters and other materials, and
interact with the presenters. Presenters must be knowledgeable about
the study and available throughout the session for discussion. Under separate
cover, presenters will be sent guidelines for content, format, and delivery
of materials.
Sharing your Presentation
In past years, session and poster presenters were asked to write a paper
for Current Trends in Audience Research and Evaluation. This printed
publication has served us well, but in working toward greater dissemination
and discussion of the ideas, research, and issues of our field, CARE will
begin sharing more material presented at the Annual Meetings on its website
in an electronic format. Though not a requirement for 2010 posters, after
the Annual Meeting CARE will be asking those presenting to share their
posters on the CARE website (similar to what the Media and Technology
committee does). We welcome any comments or thoughts about the best way to
do this. If you have ideas, please contact Chair Keni Sturgeon.
Participants
We encourage museum staff, consultants, museum studies faculty, and
students who are members of CARE and registered for the AAM Annual Meeting
to consider applying to participate in the Marketplace.
