The Metropolitan Museum of Art was awarded a $500,370 Project Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the Museums for America (CFDA 45.301) program. The grant will support the development and launch of a suite of public programs tied to the reopening of the museum's galleries dedicated to the arts of Africa, Ancient Americas, and Oceania. The initiative will activate the collections and ideas explored in the new galleries, create multiple entry points for the museum's diverse audiences, and incorporate indigenous perspectives. Project components will include performances, concerts, study days, symposia, thematic gallery tours, art-making workshops, and access programs for visitors of varying abilities. The project aims to build upon the museum's outreach efforts to civic, social, and professional groups in the New York City metropolitan area, further developing relationships with source communities while generating lasting educational resources. The grant period spans from September 1, 2024, to August 31, 2026.
