Happy Juneteenth!

Today, we embrace Juneteenth as a day of remembrance, reflection, and celebration. It serves as a poignant reminder of the long, arduous, and continuing journey towards freedom and equality. Juneteenth is a day to acknowledge where we have been, how far we have come, and how much further we have to go.

We wish everyone a happy, safe Pride! We want to highlight some cultural institutions that are making the world a better place through events and exhibitions that tell the stories of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

We’re so proud of Yvonne Tang, Director of Visitor Experience, who has joined the Professional Advisory Committee of Sheridan College’s new Experiential Design program. It’s the first offering of its kind in Canada for designers to learn how to create multi-sensory environments that speak to audiences. Integrated design is a vital part of experiential experiences, and this honours bachelor degree centres upon holistic approaches to wayfinding, public installation, placemaking, exhibition design, themed environments and event design.

Happy International Museum Day from your friends at Lord Cultural Resources!
