An Initiative to Preserve Connecticut's Cultural Collections
Providing learning opportunities for collecting institutions through site visits, hands-on learning, and webinars/workshops.
State Funding Cancelled!
In the most recent state budget the Connecticut Cultural Fund was
not funded. As a result there is no current funding for Museum Makeover. Don't worry! We are looking for other funding sources to continue this program! Stay tuned,
Applications open December 1.
The Collections Assessment Grant Program (CAG) provides small and mid-sized museums with a free assessment of their museum or archive collections. Grant recipients receive a half-day site visit from a museum curator or archivist who will examines collections on exhibit, in storage, and policies and procedures related to collection care and management and provide a written report. Every assessment report will include a prioritized list of recommendations for improving the care and management of collections.
