Session 1
\nLuv Sic: The 5 Love Languages for Museums<\/h4>\n

Lunenburg Opera House<\/strong><\/p>\n

Based on Gary Chapman\u2019s 5 love languages this will be a look at how we (or how we don\u2019t) love our Guests. The five love languages are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Words of affirmation \u2013 how museums have a voice\/ presence in community<\/li>\n
  • Quality time \u2013 Museum experience and how we connect with our visitors<\/li>\n
  • Gifts \u2013 Free Admission, community support<\/li>\n
  • Acts of service \u2013 blockbusters and economic impacts<\/li>\n
  • Touch \u2013 staff interactions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The core of this will be about exhibition and experience development but will prompt the question, \u201cAre we really in love with our visitors?\u201d.<\/p>\n

    \"Janis<\/p>\n

    Museums, heritage sites and cultural centres are at the heart of any community. As a result, these cultural heritage organizations rely heavily on community volunteers and community support to sustain them. However, we know that despite the community\u2019s best efforts it takes a lot of resources to ensure that these museums and organizations can succeed and meet the community\u2019s needs when it comes to programming, exhibitions and collections management.<\/p>\n

    Advocacy for museums is more than just funding. It is highlighting the amazing research, exhibitions and programs the sector creates each year. How these exhibitions and programming showcase our diverse communities and reflect on the work museums are doing towards reconciliation.<\/p>\n

    That is why advocacy plays such a crucial role in ensuring the sustainability of the museum and cultural heritage sector. This advocacy can come in many forms and not only is restricted to government relations (although this is a key piece) but also public relations with our communities we serve. Museums tend to be humble organizations. However, now more than ever we need to shout from our rooftops. We need to tell the rest of this country how integral and vital these organizations are to the fabric of our communities.<\/p>\n
