“The
Santa Cruz County Museums Partnership, a collaborative association
of non-profits, promotes local art, natural and cultural history
organizations to both visiting tourists and residents.”
In 2009 - 2010, representatives from
museums within Santa Cruz County met to discuss possible
collaborative outreach efforts. A host of great ideas were
discussed, resulting in the formation of the Partnership and
publication and distribution of our first brochure. 28
organizations, reflecting county-wide History and Natural Museums
and Art Galleries, were represented in this effort.
2011 has brought definition to this
Partnership, with the formation of Policy and Mission Statements,
Goals and Objectives, providing a clear focus for our collaborative
efforts. We welcome a few new additions to the Partnership,
and plan to produce a new brochure with wider distribution/outreach.
2013 added 4 new partners to our
group, and with grant support from the Community Foundation of Santa
Cruz County, 70K brochures are being distributed throughout Santa
Cruz County, Santa Clara County, and Monterey County, bringing more
visitors to our culturally rich community.
The Partnership welcomes participation
by non-profit museum and arts organizations residing in Santa Cruz
County.
