Microgrants Available to Help Us Tell the Story of Why Museums Matter

For BC Museums Week 2023, the BCMA wants to help tell the story of how
museums change lives – and we need our members’ help. If you know a
community member who is passionate about the impact of your museum and
would like to share their story, we are offering ten $350 microgrants to
help document the impact of museums.

This could be the story of a volunteer whose social life is enriched by
your museum, the story of an emerging artist who found a platform at your
gallery, or the story of someone who hosted an unforgettable event at your
heritage site. We believe in the transformative power of museums and we are
looking for stories that can help illustrate how our members change lives.

Deadlines and Details

Microgrant applications are open from April 12 to 26, 2023. Members can
submit their application here
<https://members.museum.bc.ca/publicFr/form/index/ee2ff625bdd75cf57018a3a2e8c66d257398ee89>
by
sharing a brief (1-3 sentence) description of the story they hope to share.

Stories can be documented via video, audio recording, or in writing and
must be received by the BCMA by May 10, 2023. Video/audio interviews must
be no longer than 2 minutes and interviewees must consent to have their
stories shared by the BCMA on social media during BC Museums Week 2023 (May
14-20).

Participating BCMA members will be given $250 for their time and a $100
honoraria for the interviewee.
