SCHEDULE
SESSION 1
3:00 – 4:00 pm
Walking the Sustainability Trail: Place-based education and sustainability operations at Hartley Nature Center
Hartley Nature Center staff will take us on a tour of their campus and buildings, focusing on how their campus is a reflection of their mission, bridging natural history, stewardship, and sustainability. What can museums learn from our environmental education peers? What collaborations and strategies can our respective fields share and where does our work overlap? Come find out!
Please be prepared to be outdoors in all weather conditions.
SESSION 2
4:00 – 5:00 pm
Expanding Audiences, Encouraging Diversity at Tweed Museum of Art
Get a guided tour of the Duluth's Tweed Museum of Art and discover the strategies they are developing to make their museum more diverse, welcoming, and inclusive. This University of Minnesota museum will inspire us to look within our own institutions and think critically about how our own museums can be inclusive and relevant in an ever-changing world. The Minnesota Historical Society's Department of Inclusion and Community Engagement will facilitate a short discussion on what diversity looks like along the North Shore and throughout Northeastern Minnesota and we'll talk about strategies museums can use to engage communities.
HAPPY HOUR

Happy Hour and Social Mixer: On Dock at Glensheen
Glensheen Museumco-presented with Bent Paddle Brewing
Relax by the shores of Lake Superior and enjoy a fresh beverage on the lavish grounds of Minnesota's number one historic museum, Glensheen. Glensheen teamed up with Bent Paddle Brewing to create Northeastern Minnesota's museum meet-up of the year! Part social hour, part workshop, you'll get introduced to a variety of beverages that regional Bent Paddle Brewing is creating to make their community more vital. MAM will provide a fun introduction to working with logic models, flexing our professional muscles as we "evaluate" their drinks. Meet museum professionals from the North Shore and get networked!
