Programming Framework

The MAH offers a wide array of programs and activities for the community. To clarify and guide our programming going forward, we developed the following framework.

Exhibitions Now offered online and onsite, our rotating exhibitions feature commissioned, co-created, and presented works by local, national, and international artists, as well as artwork and objects from our collection. Many are collaborations between the MAH and the community; others are organized by our visionary team of curators.

Biennial Festivals Our new festivals will showcase the MAH as a “museum without walls” through large-scale sculptures, site-specific installations, social interventions, and live performances outdoors and in. These will be curated around established themes, with the aim of uniting community through a shared sense of wonder and awe.

Limited Series

This is our program of ticketed lectures, concerts, and performances featuring local, national, and international talent, which we present in partnership with local collaborators

Community Celebrations

The MAH is proud to have a large and diverse group of partners who spearhead this series of events and activities celebrating local culture, heritage, and tradition.

Education Program

Our robust education program includes a variety of learning opportunities—from field trips, artist talks, guided tours, art camps, and hands-on classes to virtual

learning—designed to enhance understanding of our exhibitions among all audiences, from school groups to visiting guests.

Outreach Program

We will also offer engagement opportunities beyond the physical space of the MAH that include pop-up events, mobile exhibitions, community speaker programs, and other activities both offsite and online.

Special Events

These are our fundraisers and “friendraisers” that we host throughout the year as a way to raise both dollars and awareness for the MAH.
