Institute for Developing Cultural Entrepreneurs

The Cooperstown Graduate Program was recently awarded a 21st Century Museum Professionals grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services. CGP was one of only eight institutions nationwide to receive this award.

This prestigious grant was awarded to CGP in partnership with the Museum Association of New York (MANY), and the New York State Historical Association (NYSHA) for their plan to create an Institute for Developing Cultural Entrepreneurship.

The goal of the Institute is to spark innovation and creativity in the planning an execution of all aspects of museum work, and to refine leadership abilities in mid-career museum staff that will enable them to lead cultural institutions into the next generation.
