Small museums are intrinsically connected to their communities, constantly conducting audience outreach for engagement and as new projects are developed. Audiences are also continually changing habits, interest, and involvement with museums, perhaps never more so than in 2023. Join these panelists to discuss audience development, outreach to stakeholders near and far, and how museums are growing and maintaining audiences.
