OVERVIEW OF OUR "BUILD-BACK-BETTER" FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN

Target Grand Re-Opening:

February 2022 - Black History Month

As many of you may know, in addition to the restrictions caused by COVID, HCCAAC suffered a devastating flood at the museum in February 2021. The flooding was caused by a broken pipe in the ceiling which resulted in damage and loss of several of our irreplaceable artifacts, paperwork, our computers, printers, artwork, walls, carpet, and some furniture.

We had to vacate the entire building and move everything into temporary storage.

We are overjoyed that all of the building repairs have been completed but we are now facing the daunting task of reestablishing the museum layout.

WE ARE DETERMINED TO “BUILD-BACK-BETTER”

We are 1000% committed to restoring and reimagining the museum.

Here is a summary of our plans:

We plan to transition to a “hybrid museum” (with a significant online and physical presence)
We will be aggressively digitizing and cataloging all our artifacts to create online exhibits and presentations (across various themes)
Our “ONLINE DIGITAL MUSEUM” will provide more accessibility and flexibility to attract and engage with broader and diverse audiences
Our “PHYSICAL MUSEUM” will be redesigned to feature several themes. We plan to rotate and expand our exhibits at the main museum and at the Howard County library

One of the primary goals of our 2021 Men-In-The-Kitchen fundraiser is to enlist the assistance of our supporters (individuals, businesses, government officials and organizations) to help us execute this ambitious rebuilding project. Thanks again in advance for your continued support!
