Studio Museum in Harlem

The Studio Museum in Harlem will use its grant to support Building Blocks, a staff development initiative that seeks to strengthen the museum's institutional capacity and impact. The project will formalize professional development programs for staff and create a mechanism that allows the museum to train, support, and provide identified skill sets for its middle management team. Building Blocks is so named because it builds on a 2008 IMLS-funded professional development initiative that showed the need for a more structured professional development program at the museum.
