Each year the AMaGA National Conference attracts over 450 national and international delegates. There are thousands of paid and unpaid workers who provide the facility and opportunity for Australians to discover, learn, reflect and connect to self, our place, community and country through caring for your cultural and creative heritage.
These museum, gallery and cultural workers range from directors of national institutions to unpaid volunteers in every community across Australia. Larger organisations may find it within their budget to send staff to conferences, however many small organisations operate on donations and grant funding alone.
In fact, the majority of AMaGA member operate on less than $10,000 annually. For most staff and volunteers of these organisations, attending an interstate conference is simply outside their means, though most would jump at the chance.
AMaGA has therefore established a “Conference Inclusion Fund” to assist volunteers and staff working in those smaller museums and galleries to attend the national conference, which includes a day focused on regional, remote and community organisations. Eligible member galleries and museums, their staff and volunteers, will be encouraged to apply to the fund for assistance to travel to the conference. Support from the fund will cover the cost of conference registration plus some funds towards travel and accommodation.
