They Like Us...They Really Like Us!
"[The Main Street Museum] was truly the perfect setting. It’s really proving to be THE place for us!" Paige H., Frequent renter of the venue
"[The Main Street Museum] forces one to contemplate the nature of museums and curating. Why do we save what we save? How do we decide what to discard. what to display, what to hide away and what to destroy." Joe Citro, World Famous Author
"Attention, Metropolitan Museum of Art is doing it wrong." airshipdaily.com
"I think [The MSM] plays a really important role in our cultural ecosystem...” Margaret Lawrence, director at Dartmouth College’s Hopkins Center for the Arts, 2013
“It is only due to organizations such as yours that the important works of our Country are brought to the attention of the public.” Marie Reilly, Museum of Bad Art, Dedham, MA, 1998
“The Main Street Museum—White River Junctions answer to the Library of Congress.” Senator Peter Welch, 2005
Why is White River Junction Thriving? Check out this VP Brave Little State Episode! Thanks to Angela Evancie & MSM family members, Chico & Matty for their contributions.
This is the Place.
Shout Outs!
(It really does takes a village to raise a Museum)
Author Jodi Picoult from Hanover, NH sent us a care package of some of her banned books!
These go towards our goal of 500
books to give away for free during WRJ PRIDE Week! She ROCKS (and if you haven't read her books they do too! We HIGHLY recommend them - This Valley is so full of amazing talent!
Staples in West Lebanon has been a partner with the Museum for a while and now our relationship is official! They picked us as their 'Community Partner' for the year! What does this mean? It means they will be helping us with print media (so important) from business cards to signs to help us reduce our costs in advertising! Super duper shout out to Shari who takes really good care of us! Stop in and say HI! Tell them the Museum sent you!
THANK
YOU!
Our dear and patient neighbors at Five Seasons (Please don't park in their lot when they are open!) are sponsoring the BIG NIGHT on 4/20! We are so happy to partner with them for this amazing event celebrating local film & music! They are some really nice (kind) folks over there!
Paolo, volunteer extraordinaire, asked Main Street Kitchens for a donation of a prize for the Chili Cook-Off coming up on 4/27 and they obliged with a gift card! (He was tickled to get a yes on his first ask!) Thanks You So Much!
