The Bundy Museum of History & Art selected as a Museum Association of New York (MANY) museum partner for “Building Capacity, Creating Sustainability, Growing Accessibility.”

The Museum Association of New York (MANY) is thrilled to announce that 96 museums from across New York State have been selected to participate in “Building Capacity, Creating Sustainability, Growing Accessibility”, an IMLS CARES Act grant project designed to help museums impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic share their collections and reach audiences who cannot physically visit their museums.

In this two-year program, museums will identify a program to virtually deliver to their audiences, focusing on developing programs from stories found in their collections that reveal cultural and racial diversity in their communities.
