[BCMA] Calling all changemakers - BC Museums Week 2022

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

*How We Can Build a Better Future*

Share your vision for the future of the arts, culture, and heritage sector,
connect with senior government leaders, and have the chance to win a cash
prize during BC Museums Week 2022.

As museums, galleries, and cultural institutions see more waves of
retirement each year, the voices and ideas of emerging professionals have
never been more important. Join the next generation of cultural leaders in
imagining the future of our sector.
The BC Museums Association (BCMA) is looking for four to five emerging
museum and cultural professionals (EMPs) to present their visions for
change to a panel of government leaders in a 10-minute talk.

After the talks, the panellists and judges will come together to reflect on
concrete steps we can take together to realize the proposed changes in the
arts, culture, and heritage sector. The judges will then select one
panellist to receive a $500 cash prize and an invitation to expand upon
their idea. The winner will give a talk at the BCMA’s 2022 Conference in
late October.

*Government leaders include*:

   - Senator Pat Bovey, Independent Senator from Manitoba
   - Claire Avison, Assistant Deputy Minister, Ministry of Tourism, Arts,
   Culture and Sport, British Columbia
   - Laurel Collins MP, Victoria
