Hi, Carol.

Thanks for your note. We are excited that American Democracy will be the next MoMS exhibition. We’ll be wrapping up our second tour of Water/Ways in March 2022 and would very much like to host American Democracy later that year. I realize that may be beyond your current timeline, but wanted to weigh in!

Cheers,

Erin Greenwald

Subject: MoMS Survey results

Good morning,

We want to thank you all for participating in the MoMS exhibition proposal survey in November.  As we work through all the details and feasibility of selecting the next exhibit, we want to give you a sneak preview.

All three proposals were rated very strongly with a great deal of opportunities for local exhibitions and engaging public programs. All three would make excellent MoMS exhibitions.

We received 94 responses—65 responses from host venues were pretty much a tie for all three exhibitions; however,  50% of the councils who voted put American Democracy as their first choice. We certainly have heard for a couple of years of your interest in civic education and programming about democracy.

So, it looks like American Democracy will be the next MoMS exhibition, possibly opening in March, 2020. Because that is a tight turn around, I’d be curious to know who might be interested in jumping on those early years of the tour.  We can’t contract yet, but having a short list of interested councils would be helpful.

Please let me know if you think your council might be interested in hosting American Democracy in 2020 or 2021.

As we approach the holidays, we are reminded of how grateful we are to work with so many gifted and dedicated people in the humanities arena.  You inspire us in so many ways.

With warm wishes for a happy holiday season and a bright and prosperous new year.

Carol
