This Project Grant award from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the Museums for America (CFDA 45.301) program will support the Children's Museum and Theatre of Maine's efforts to expand programming that integrates African American, Ethnic, and Wabanaki Studies curricula as mandated by Maine state law. The $468,095 award, effective September 1, 2024 through May 31, 2027, will enable the museum to collaborate with local organizations, artists, musicians, performers, and storytellers to develop on-site and outreach programs that align with the new curriculum requirements and center community voices. The project will also create professional development opportunities for Maine educators to increase their capacity to implement the new curricula, and result in the production of a new play adapted from a children's book written by an author from the represented communities.
