Call for Proposals: Deadline Monday, February 17, 2023
Washington Museum Association (WaMA) is excited to travel to Yakima, to host an in-person conference: Come Together on June 20-22, 2023. We are currently inviting proposals for presentations, workshops, interactive sessions, or panel discussions. Join WaMA to recognize our sector’s struggles, celebrate our collective successes, and to move toward the future together.
Conference Theme
Come Together with Washington Museum Association in Yakima. Next year WaMA will be reaching out across the state to identify every heritage, art, and science museum. Now is the time to come together to learn, network, and gather our collective forces. Come together to celebrate all our unique communities. Come together to represent your corner of our state. Come together to advocate for new funding and effect change. We are much stronger when we work together, all museums across Washington.
