About
“The American Alliance of Museums’ (AAM) mission is to champion museums and nurture excellence in partnership with our members and allies. Since 1906 the Alliance has been a leader in developing best practices and advocating for museums, as well as providing a host of opportunities to museum staff and volunteers. More than 35,000 individual museum professionals and volunteers, institutions, and corporate partners benefit from the work of the Alliance.”
Creative Aging Focus:
The Alliance is collaborating with Aroha Philanthropies and Lifetime Arts to usher a museum cohort through their creative aging program, Seeding Vitality Arts in Museums. Twenty museums are participating and you can follow their stories on the Alliance’s Ad Summa blog, which aims for the highest and best exploration of arts and aging, with a focus on museum practice.
