From Museum to University: How an Art Museum Bloomed
In this engaging presentation, Amy Lewis Hofland traces the remarkable transformation of the Crow Museum — from a private family collection into a thriving university affiliated institution that now welcomes more than 100,000 visitors annually and has expanded into a 60,000 sq ft campus venue. Audiences will gain insight into strategic leadership, board development, donor acquisition, and institutional partnerships, learning how to replicate this model of sustainable growth in cultural, educational, or nonprofit settings.
Attendees will walk away with actionable strategies to drive expansion, maximize community engagement, and elevate funding opportunities—delivering strong return on investment through tangible outcomes in visibility, revenue, and mission impact.
