SUMMARY:From Keepers to Catalysts: Museums as Engines of Equitable Tourism
DESCRIPTION:Today\, museums are leveraging their authority to actively re-engineer tourism as an equitable\, local community benefiting force.\n\n\nFrom Venice to New Orleans\, museums sit at the center of heritage tourism economies where stark racial income disparities and chronic underinvestment in cultural infrastructure persist. Today\, museums are leveraging their authority to actively re-engineer tourism as an equitable\, local community benefiting force. \nJoin us during AAM 2026 in Philadelphia\, for a conversation with international museum leaders and cultural visionaries\, including confirmed speakers: \n\nJoy Bailey-Bryant — President & Managing Partner\, Lord Cultural Resources\nDaniel Hammer — ICOM Board member\, President & CEO\, The Historic New Orleans Collection\nArthur Affleck — Co-Chair\, ICOM-US; President & CEO\, Association of Children’s Museums\nKate Quinn — Co-Chair\, ICOM-US\nValerie Gay — Chief Cultural Officer\, City of Philadelphia\nLauren Swartz — President & CEO World Affairs Council of Philadelphia\nAngela Val — President & CEO of Visit Philadelphia\n\n \nAttendees will explore how museums can expand public value and act as engines of equitable heritage tourism\, particularly at the neighborhood and city scale. \nAttendees will leave with strategies to: \n\nAdvance equitable\, sustainable models of heritage tourism\nIncentivize public and private investment in museums as social infrastructure\nReimagine museums as co-creators of healthy\, inclusive\, and resilient communities\n\nHosted at the Fabric Workshop & Museum\, an institution internationally recognized for artist-led experimentation and collaborative making\, the setting reflects the conversation itself — museums as active spaces for innovation\, dialogue\, and public value.
