Event Details
Join Us in Richmond in 2022!
Redefining Museums in Changing Landscapes
Join meet with your colleagues in-person March 5-8, 2022 in Richmond for our next annual conference.
When our conference committee discussed a potential conference theme, it was a quick conversation. The Richmond Region has grown gradually over the past two decades, but this past year was challenging for Virginia’s capital. In 2020, the city underwent an explosion of physical as well as metaphorical change. From density growth to societal upheaval, removal of historic monuments, to protests for equality televised around the world, #RVA has experienced it all.
Museums, art and cultural organizations, and historic sites and their staffs have been greatly impacted by 2020, whether by the pandemic, current events, or community demands. The opportunities for discussion and debate at the 2022 conference are beyond measure.
We encourage you to join us in the River City for four days of community and conversation as we look at how contemporary life is redefining museums in changing landscapes.
Room reservations may be made by calling 1-800-the-Omni, and mentioning the Virginia Association of Museums group.
Room rates are $149 a night.
