Phase III visible light level reduction strategy for the dennos museum center at northwestern michigan college [the dennos museum center (DMC)--located on the community college campus of northwestern michigan college in traverse city, MI – respectfully requests $10,000.00 to complete phase III of its light level reduction strategy in its milock gallery and promenade wing. According to a recent 2022 collections assessment for preservation (cap) final report, a reduction in visible light levels for this exhibition space was noted as a high priority concern. Following the museum's first leadership transition in 2019, the DMC has prioritized collections management in an effort to significantly improve care and access. In the past three years, the museum has drafted 10 new policy documents, completed the american alliance of museums (AAM) "core documents verification" program, received its first imls and NEH federal grants for collections care, and completed its first museum assessment program (map) review through AAM in addition to an updated cap assessment.]
