Funding Spotlight: America 250 | CT Museum Makeover

Conservation ConneCTion and CT Humanities have partnered to offer the America 250 | CT Museum Makeover, a grant program designed to help cultural organizations tell new and unique stories about the American Revolution and how the themes of the America 250 | CT Commission reverberate through our nation’s history. Successful applicants will receive two free site visits from a curatorial project manager, and up to $5,600 to help cover the costs of upgrading or creating exhibition and interpretive areas. Fundable projects include exhibitions; orientation galleries; interpretive spaces, such as period rooms in historic house museums; and accessibility improvements, such as creating bilingual content, and developing new tools for improved visual, auditory, and physical access.

Join Conservation ConneCTion staff for an overview of the grant program and tips on how to prepare a successful application in advance of the January 22 deadline.
