TAOS: A CONVERGENCE OF CULTURES -- PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

In Taos, New Mexico

September 18 – September 22, 2006

 

We welcome your ideas.  If you need help putting the final touches on a proposal, our program committee will help you develop your idea. If you've never submitted a session proposal, this is good time to do it.  Our committee will assist you with recommendations on title, concept and panel presenters.  

To submit a proposal, download the proposal form at   Click here: Mountain-Plains Museums Association (MPMA)

 

The program committee is looking for session proposals that address a broad range of issues that affect museums.  It is also looking for sessions that relate to the 2006 conference theme - Convergence of Cultures - which has been chosen to encourage proposals on topics that cover culture, material culture, objects and diversity. There is no better place to discuss these topics than Northern New Mexico with its rich cultural heritage that includes Hispanic, Anglo and Native American traditions.

 

The experience you will gain from this conference along with the interaction with your peers will help your professional goals. You will also become better known in the MPMA museum community.  Moreover, you will learn about the culture of northern New Mexico which is alive with a diversity unmatched by few other places.  Experience a great conference and come away enriched by your colleagues and the beauty, heritage and awe inspiring images that have made Taos famous around the world
