IHC is especially interested in receiving applications from rural communities with populations under 20,000. 34 Item 8. https://www.idahohumanities.org/programs/smithsonian -exhibits/ About Spark! Places of Innovation Experience the distinctive combinations of places, people, and circumstances that generate innovation and invention in rural communities. Spark! is inspired by a National Museum of American History exhibit. This traveling exhibit explores the real stories of small- town innovation and invention, told by diverse voices. The powerful stories are enhanced with photos and objects from communities across the country. Rather than tell visitors about innovation, Spark! will show what innovation looks like in rural America with photographs, interactive components, objects, videos, and augmented reality. Case studies of rural innovation will give visitors the chance to consider how leaders approach challenges, how success is fostered, and how innovation impacts the future of communitie s. The goal is to inspire visitors to consider how the exhibit themes apply to their own towns and to look at the following questions: • What is the role of creative thinkers and inventors in a town? • What resources do towns have for innovation and invention? • How important is the role of self-expression and openness to change? • How does a place encourage risk-taking? • How can diversity spark innovation? Learn more about the exhibit and view downloadable resources here: https://museumonmainstreet.org/spark Learn more about the inspiration behind Spark!: https://americanhistory.si.edu/exhibitions/places-invention “The story of human history is written in inventions and innovations. People are problem- solvers. Sometimes we invent. More often, we innovate—we introduce a fresh idea or an invention into use in some way that creates a new way of doing or thinking. Invention can happen anywhere and it’s happening right now in small towns across America. Rural Americans are creating new products, taking risks, meeting challenges together, and seizing upon exciting opportunities that change local life and sometimes reach far beyond.” -Smithsonian Institute 35 Item 8. https://www.idahohumanities.org/programs/smithsonian -exhibits/ What is Included? • All shipping costs to and from the venue • All costs for two community representatives to attend two programming workshops in Boise • All costs for two community representatives to attend an Installation workshop at the first host site • $1,500 to assist with supplemental programming • Publicity materials including postcards, posters, banners, and more • Consulta tion with scholars to develop local humanities programming Funding Eligibility Idaho tribal governments, nonprofit organizations, municipalities, and public institutions are eligible to apply.
