Esteemed colleagues –
Has any of your institutions tried an
adopt-an-artifact or similar program as a way of raising money for collections
care? If so, was it successful, either in terms of fundraising or in other,
less tangible ways such as publicity for your museum or attracting more
artifact donations? Would you mind sharing how you publicized and managed the
program? We are thinking of launching something of that sort in conjunction
with an exhibit we are opening in May that will feature seldom-seen items from
our collection as well as items significant to Charlotte’s history that
we are borrowing from private lenders.
Many thanks,
Featured Exhibits:
ToyTime: Larger-than-Life Folk
Toys, September 8, 2007 to March 9, 2008
Flags Across The Nation: Quilts
