Sandy Spring Museum

Sandy Spring Museum will expand, improve and create a replicable model of presenting community-generated content in a museum setting. The project will increase opportunities for the community to create and host events, performances, activities and exhibits, many of which present a community perspective on local history. The museum will hire a part-time outreach coordinator to work with other staff members, an external evaluator, and both existing and new partners to develop a wide variety of community-generated exhibits, workshops, and programs. The project team will design, test, and refine a system for standardizing a financially stable community-generated content model which can be shared with other institutions.
