1. Exhibition Journal Newsline-
Celebrate going to museums again by writing about a GREAT experience or exhibit (one you didn't work on yourself). How is the field moving forward?
Exhibits Newsline is a section in the Exhibition Journal published by the National Association for Museum Exhibition, a professional network of the American Alliance of Museums!
Entries should be brief (500 words max), breezy (tell what made it great), and include three to four hi-res images.

2. Wednesday NAME Chat, 10 am EST -- What great exhibits have you seen lately?
