** WV ASSOCIATION OF MUSEUMS

The mission of the West Virginia Association of Museums is to serve, educate, advocate for, and enhance communications within the museum community. WVAM carries out this mission by listening to its members, serving their interests, and keeping the members informed of current standards and activities on a national scale.
WVAM continuously strives to expand our capacity to promote and assist the museums of West Virginia in preserving, celebrating, and telling their stories. We have recently restructured the membership tiers and rates, and have been working on additional benefits for our members. WVAM would like to begin a new statewide program offering discounts to WVAM members to visit museums and institutions around the state. This discount program would be a membership benefit for WVAM members and hopefully increase traffic to statewide museums and institutions. Discounts could include a discount off admission price, discount in gift shops, or another benefit that works for your museum or site. WVAM members now have membership cards to show as proof of membership to receive discounts. Participating institutions do not have to be members of WVAM to be part of the discount program. All participating institutions will be listed on the WVAM website with information about the discount program.

​** MORGANTOWN AND MONONGALIA COUNTY DESIGNATED ARTS COMMUNITY
 
​
The State Arts Office, West Virginia Department of Arts, Culture and History (WVDACH) and the West Virginia Commission on the Arts (WVCA) announces two new Certified Arts Communities designations. Monongalia County and the City of Morgantown (Monongalia County) have both been awarded this honor.
Monongalia County and the City of Morgantown both continuously work hard to advocate for the arts and to show how the arts play an intentional and integral role in community planning and development,” said WVDACH Curator Randall Reid-Smith. “It is important we honor these communities throughout West Virginia with the recognition they deserve.
The Certified Arts Community (CAC) designation is for communities that have realized the benefits of cooperation between arts and humanities groups, business leaders and jurisdictional agencies. To be eligible, communities must support arts organizations by providing volunteer governance, financial contributions and audiences for arts programming; adopt a resolution indicating recognition of the importance of the arts to economic development, educational quality and civic involvement; and demonstrate successful collaborations between arts, humanities and heritage groups, and business leaders and jurisdictional agencies.
Applications for the CAC program must be submitted with any required attachments, including letters of support, resolutions of governing authorities and other documentation of fulfillment of qualification. The WVDACH State Arts Office reviews applications to the CAC program and forwards successful applications to the WVCA for final approval.
For an application or more information about the Certified Arts Communities, visit www.wvculture.org or contact Lance Schrader, WVDACH director of arts, at lance.e.shrader@wv.gov or (304) 558-0240.
