WHAT IS ACTIVATING HERITAGE?
Activating Heritage is the Chicago Cultural Alliance’s annual professional development conference for cultural heritage and non-profit professionals.
The conference connects our Core Members and other arts & culture workers from across the Chicago region with meaningful, hands-on, capacity-building experiences facilitated by a host of scholars and leaders in the field, through dynamic presentations, panels, and workshops.
The Chicago Cultural Alliance enthusiastically encourages participation from members of the community as well. The conference will also be of interest to students (both undergraduate and graduate), historians, and anyone else interested in learning more about community engagements with culture.
HOW DOES ACTIVATING HERITAGE WORK?
United with a diverse and accomplished array of panelists, moderators, community stakeholders, and industry professionals, we will delve into broader and deeper conversations surrounding advocacy, fundraising, museum collections, preservation, programming, digitizing, virtual exhibitions, education, and the next generation of arts and cultural heritage professionals.
