Annual Workshop Series
Welcome to the 2009-2010 workshop series! We are excited to be bringing you an expanded workshop series this season: more than 10 full day workshops, spread across the state! Check below for a list of all upcoming workshops.
Why should you come to one of our workshops? Don't take our word for it! Here is what one of our students had to say:
"I came away from yesterday’s workshop, as always, energized and enthused about the potential possibilities for my museum. But the best thing that I came away with was the knowledge that we are not alone in our struggles, particularly the uncertainty over the budget and the economy, and that I have colleagues in the Virginia museum world that I can call upon for a listening ear and neutral suggestions."
*All of the workshops in our annual workshop series allow you to earn credits toward our Virginia Certificate in Museum Management. The credit applicable to each workshop is listed under that workshop in the full brochure.
