Looking for new ways to engage the public online and attract
visitors to your institution this summer? Participate in the
Alberta Museums Association's #MeetYourMuseum
campaign!
The 2020 #MeetYourMuseum campaign provides AMA members
with tools and resources to attract visitors and key stakeholders
to their sites, both in person and online, and encourage them to
engage on social media. The campaign is designed to increase
awareness of Alberta museums, boost engagement, and promote joy and
collective celebration of Alberta's culture and heritage. By
participating in this campaign, members will also help develop a
unified voice for the museum community, increase public engagement
with museums, and support each other with their advocacy and
awareness efforts.
The campaign involves:
- Encouraging visitors to participate online by sharing selfies
and joining in on digital activities with the hashtags
#IMetMyMuseum, #MuseumsFromHome, and
#Staycation;
- Sharing the AMA's #MeetYourMuseum and
#MeetYourMuseumOnline images on social media along with
your existing promotions; and
- Inviting local elected officials to engage with your museum,
whether in person or online.
The AMA has created resources for our members to support their
marketing and awareness efforts and encourage a unified voice
across the province. Click the links to the right to find:
- A social media toolkit with #MeetYourMuseum and
#MeetYourMuseumOnline promotional images for members to
use in conjunction with existing promotions and / or across social
media channels;
- Template letters for a #MeetYourMuseum invitation to send
to your elected officials; and
- A fact sheet that focusses on the value of arts, culture, and
heritage institutions to society to use when engaging external
stakeholders or promoting your work.
