The ACM Outstanding Practice in Children’s Museums Awards recognize an exceptional accomplishment by a children’s museum in work across all departments that is also recognized as an outstanding practice for the field. This award may recognize contributions to the field through innovative exhibits, strategic initiatives, fundraising efforts, or transformative leadership. Awards will be given in three categories by museum size: small, medium, and large.
ACM offers fellowship and financial aid program to provide museum staff from underrepresented groups, including small children museums, with complimentary registration to the conference.
The program goal is to offset the professional development expenses for those who would benefit from attending the conference.
We are grateful to our fellowship program sponsor, Lord Cultural Resources.
