Place-Making: Museums and Building Community

Alberta Museums Association

Annual Conference

September 23 - 25, 2010
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

 

Call for Proposals

 

The Alberta Museums Association (AMA) is seeking session proposals for
its Annual Conference. The Conference this year is being held in
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and seeks to explore how museums are
responsible for developing a sense of place in their communities.

 

Place-making can be defined as "the art of creating public 'places of
the soul' that uplift and help us to connect to each other" (Project for
Public Spaces, www.pps.org <http://www.pps.org/> ). It is about design
of public space, experiences within public space, and empowering those
that engage within that space. 

 

Please see the AMA website link
http://www.museums.ab.ca/callproposals.aspx for the Call for Proposals
and Session Proposal Form. Submission deadline is Friday, February 26,
2010. All proposals will be reviewed by a volunteer committee comprised
of AMA members. Applicants will be notified of the status of their
proposal by March 15, 2010.

 

Proposals should be emailed, mailed, or faxed to the Alberta Museums
Association office. A position paper further exploring the idea of
place-making is available online at www.museums.ab.ca
<http://www.museums.ab.ca/>  or contact the AMA to have a copy sent to
you.
