Episode 13: BCMA and Heritage BC Economic Impact Study Discussion with Accession Consulting

The BCMA and Heritage BC partnered to produce a new study examining the economic impact that museums, galleries, and heritage sites have in their local communities. Accession Consulting supported our organizations in conducting this study and join us in this podcast to discuss their findings and themes that museums and heritage organizations can use to advocate for the important roles they play in communities across the province.

Episode 12: Reopening Conversation with the Bateman Foundation

As museums, galleries, and cultural organizations across British Columbia reopen their doors to the public, we’re checking in with members to see how their first few weeks have gone and to share these experiences with other organizations who are in the process of reopening. Today I’m joined by Sarah Theophilus, Head of Retail & Operations and Courtney Zylsta, Head of Art & Visitor Experience at the Bateman Foundation in Victoria BC to discuss how their organization's June 2nd reopening has gone so far.

Episode 11 - Reopening Conversation with Tammy Bradford from the Creston Museum

On May 20, 2020, the Creston Museum reopened to the public, making it one of the first museums in the province to reopen after the COVID-19 public health orders. To see what their first few days of being reopened were like and how they approached adapting their site to our new reality, today I’m joined by Tammy Bradford, Manager of the Creston Museum.

As museums, galleries, and heritage spaces around the province continue to reopen, we hope to continue recording podcasts to document their experiences and share lessons learned with other organizations who are in the process of reopening.
