 The Museum Program of the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), in partnership with CNY Arts, will award over $32,000 in Professional Development Grants to New York State-based museums, historic sites, and museum service organizations in 2019. With these grants NYSCA provides opportunities for museum professionals to attend conferences and workshops or to visit other museums and meet with colleagues across New York State. Eligible museums must generally be chartered by New York State. If your museum is not chartered, please contact Kristin Herron, Program Director at NYSCA prior to applying. Professional development grants may not be sought by staff of New York State historic sites, SUNY or CUNY museums, nor can the travel be related to other state agency work.
Museums may apply for up to $500 for a professional development opportunity for one or more staff, board, or volunteers. Out-of-state travel and meals cannot be supported with the award, but registration fees can be.
The opportunity opens on January 4, 2019, and applications will be submitted via Google Forms. (You do not need a Gmail account to access the form).
The application will close on January 18, 2019 at 5:00 pm. Applications will be reviewed for eligibility. All eligible requests will be considered for funding. If the amount requested by all eligible applicants exceeds the amount available, a random drawing will be held to select those that will receive support. Priority will be given to applicants who have not received Museum Program Professional Development Grants in the past two years.
Full details, a list of some examples of professional development opportunities, and FAQ are all available on NYSCA's website at

Every compelling story, from the simplest to the most complex, can be distilled down to a few basic and common components. Participants will gain insights into identifying the structure or "bones" of any story and how they can enrich their tour programs by applying this view of story structure to a range of stories embedded in their tours. Biographical sketches, the chronology of the construction of a house, the political and economic forces in play at any period of history, as well as popular stories and folktales can be shaped into compelling, engaging stories.

Living history interpretation is an educational medium where staff use performance to create a world, tell a story, stimulate learning, engage the senses and teach lessons through interpretation, clothing styles, pastimes, handicrafts, and reenactments. Visitors are transported to another time and place in their imaginations where they experience the past. 'Fleshing out' history, whether it be in a museum setting, or in a house, indoor or out, this workshop will take participants through active ways to create, launch, and maintain a living history interpretation. Whether it be first-person or third, whether you are the interpreter, or the training partner for staff, this comprehensive and interactive workshop will help participants feel comfortable with making history live.
Unable to join us at the workshop? A webinar on this topic will be offered in December 2019. Webinar Fee: $15/GHHN Members; $20/NonMembers
