4-Exhibit A – AAMD Organizational Mission.docx

This is an organizational mission statement document for the African American Museum, Dallas (AAMD), which is partnering with the City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture (OAC) on a museum modernization project. The AAMD's mission is to collect, preserve, and make visible the creative, civic, and scholarly contributions of African Americans through exhibitions and public programs that help all people understand the African American experience with emphasis on Dallas and the Southwestern United States. The City of Dallas OAC is soliciting proposals from qualified firms specializing in museum exhibit modernization, digital engagement, interpretive planning, and multimedia concept development to support the modernization planning of the Facing the Rising Sun exhibition. The scope of work is limited to the planning and concept development phase only and is part of a larger TPWD Protecting Cultural Memory Grant, with the contract explicitly excluding schematic design, architectural design, engineering design, construction documents, or any services categorized as A/E design under Texas law. All deliverables must remain at the conceptual, interpretive, planning, and digital engagement strategy level, with the intent of generating a comprehensive exhibition modernization concept plan that positions AAMD for Phase II implementation.
