MiamiOH OARS on 22 Apr 13The American Association of Museums' (AAM) Center for the Future of Museums (CFM), EmcArts and MetLife Foundation have launched a major new initiative designed to enable selected museums to design, research and prototype innovations, testing novel approaches to field-wide challenges in a laboratory-like setting. The Innovation Lab for Museums is an 12- to 24-month program for each of the participating institutions, utilizing the expertise of CFM and the proven experience of EmcArts in incubating organizational innovations in the arts field. In this inaugural round of the Lab, three proposals have been accepted focusing on innovation in the realms of: * Youth Education: exploring how museums can play a key role in a rapidly changing educational landscape * Demographic Transformation: how museums can close this gap and serve a broader, more representative sample of American society * Participatory Experiences: how museums can meet the desire of audiences for participatory and social activities in museums.
