For June 23rd
Hold on to your seats – I have some crazy news! I am currently working on plans for the … 2012 season! Yikes Stripes! As I continue to tinker with the 2011 season, I am learning every day what works, what doesn’t work, and what I still need help with. Our 2012 budget is taking shape, as well as ideas for tours, marketing campaigns, and museum displays.
For anyone who hasn’t had the chance to come by and check our Francisco Fort Museum this summer, we have up a number of new exhibits. The idea is to rotate new exhibits, so that each season there is something new to see, but that we are able to keep up with the process. For example, the exhibits that were opened this year will remain until the portion of the West Wing they reside in cycle through again (probably around four to six years from now).
The new exhibits went through a number of ideas before becoming what they are. A few months of planning resulted in some great ideas and results, and I can’t wait to see what a year’s worth of planning yields for La Veta in 2012. This is where I need YOUR help. During the month of July, I am going to hold a “Collections Collaboration Contest”.
Please call me at 742-5501 or email me at Jen@franciscofortmuseum.com and set an appointment to be part of this exciting adventure. If you’re interested, you will be invited to visit the museum at no charge to gather information and ideas. Do some research, sketch some ideas, and then turn in your favorite exhibit ideas for 2012. Submissions will be taken from now until July 20th, and winners will be announced at Francisco Fort Day (July 23rd). If chosen, your exhibit will be named after YOU and the Francisco Fort staff and board will be working alongside you to make your ideas a reality.
Looking forward to working with all your ideas! Remember, this is not just for adults, any kids and teenagers who want to enter are welcome to!
