NACDI will present at the The 2017 Annual Conference of the Ontario Museum Association.
Ontario Museums and Cultural Diplomacy
This session will begin from the premise that museums have developed into actors on the international stage in their own right, be it through exhibitions, loans, staff exchanges and training, research projects or even through outposts and franchises in parts of the world that are aggressively developing their cultural sectors. Harnessing this international moment has been a priority for many museums and for various reasons, and museums and other cultural institutions in Ontario have long been active in international work. Panellists will provide the vantage points through institutional as well as their own professional practices.
