NEMA YEP Book Club Poll

December 9, 2011 / Amanda Gustin / 0 Comments

The New England Museum Association’s Young & Emerging Professionals group is planning on hosting a book discussion in the near future.

They’ve got a poll up asking which book we should all talk about, so go, vote, and then come to the meeting. (We’ll have details about the date and location when we hear.)

NEMA Conference Survey

Did you attend NEMA’s fall conference?

If so, they’re looking for some feedback.

Go, fill it out, and give your opinion. If you give them your thoughts by December 16, you’ll be entered to win a free conference registration for NEMA 2012.

If you missed filling out your little yellow evaluation sheets about a particular panel during the conference as well, you can do that online.

Here and There: More Than One Way to Decorate a Tree

December 5, 2011 / Sarah Margerum / 0 Comments

Here: First, show some support for our own Sarah Duff and visit the exhibit she planned at the Andover Historical Society, Common Indecency. Tinsel and ornaments will seem so commonplace when you realize you could be decorating with corsets and vintage toilet paper.

There: Next, head over to the Concord Museum and see Family Trees: A Celebration of Children’s Literature. Thirty-six trees are decorated with ornaments inspired by beloved children’s books, some of which you will remember from childhood and others you will be delighted to discover.

Take inspiration from these fun exhibitions and get creative with ways to display a topic you love. Common Indecency can be visited through December 31. Family Trees runs through January 1.
