Does your museum have five or fewer full-time staff and/or a budget under $500,000? Do you want to work towards accreditation, write or strengthen your museum’s core documents and commit to standards and best practices?

If you answered yes to these questions, you might be a good candidate for the Small Museums Accreditation Academy, a guided online experience that combines live sessions, mentoring and collaborative activities for board and staff. Museums that complete this year-long program will have their core documents verified, strengthen their institutional culture of excellence and feel ready to apply for accreditation.

The application period opens on September 1 and closes on November 1. For more information, visit the AAM website. The Small Museums Accreditation Academy is made possible in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
