Small Museum Association Conference 2025

With a staff of just twelve year-round staff members comprising departments of one, collaboration with colleagues and community partners make it possible for the Antique Boat Museum (ABM) to host 20+ different education programs on and off the water for all ages as well as plan, produce, and install seven new exhibits on a minimal budget. ABM’s Educator Molly Voth and Curator/Collections Manager Caitlin Playle will share some of their collaborations, big and small, and tips and tricks for successful results. There will be an opportunity for attendees to swap tips and tricks at the end.

In this workshop, staff from the Rosenbach Museum & Library, Alexander Ames, the Director of Outreach & Engagement and Emilie Parker, the Director of Education, with their combined 25 years of experience at the Rosenbach,  will introduce a process for the development and implementation of innovative projects, one that will save time and energy in the long run and can help clear the way for successful innovation in the future.
