Community partners: gotta recognize!
Posted by: Julia Swan
As we prepare to open Arctic Wings: Miracle of Migration (more on that exhibit later) and continue to show The Last Polar Bear: Facing the Truth of a Warming World, I find myself very grateful for the organizations that have become community partners with the Burke for these two wildlife photography exhibits.
Community partners do a lot for the museum and are always very gracious about spreading the word to their own audiences about Burke exhibits and programs. I know I speak for my colleagues when I say that working with community partners is always a pleasure. To that end, I find it appropriate to recognize our community partners for both Arctic Wings and The Last Polar Bear:

If you visit the museum you will be able to pick up more information about most of these fabulous organizations. Thanks again partners!
