MAMF CELEBRATES 13 YEARS

WE ARE 13 TODAY!!

As we embark on our 13th year, we can’t help but wonder: what does this new chapter hold for us? In the past, we’ve celebrated our milestones with whimsical memes and creative collages. This year, as we enter our teenage years, we’ll focus on our future. 

For humans, 13 is a time of leaving childhood behind and moving forward into the teens. It’s a bridge between childhood and adulthood, a period of considerable growth and introspection. At 13, life’s paths are not straight; they beckon in a dozen different directions. The journey can be made easier with the help of wise mentors and supportive friends. 

Today, our museum has reached the age of 13, a significant milestone in any institution’s life. Just like a teenager, we’re on the brink of a new phase, ready to embrace the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead with a renewed sense of purpose. With our talented board’s guidance and friends’ support, we’re striding forward. 

Our first 12 years have been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, triumphs and tribulations. It hasn’t always been easy. But we’ve come a long way, learned invaluable lessons, and accomplished a great many things. Many of you have been with us since the beginning, while others have joined us along the way. As we step into our 13th year, we want to take some moments to reflect on our journey, filled with achievements that we couldn’t have accomplished without your support. In the coming months, we’ll revisit our origin story, spotlight our achievements, highlight our projects, and share our dreams. We invite you to come with us on our journey!  


Do you have a story about home?

MAMF is seeking submissions for its latest book project, HOME: It’s Complicated. Connie Kinsey, the museum’s Writer-in-Residence is curating stories and poems around the topic of “Home.” Some ideas for topics include: Moving to or from home, revisiting a childhood home, holidays at home, homecoming, or defining home. If you have a memory to share about home, please submit it for this anthology NLT 31 December 2023. Authors will receive a free book in lieu of payment. We look forward to reading your story!
