Event Details:

SPARK! Places of Innovation explores the unique combination of places, people, and circumstances that sparks innovation and invention in rural communities. This traveling exhibit will be hosted by the University of Maryland Eastern Shore from January 17th until March 1st at the Frederick Douglass Library.

Inspired by an exhibition at the National Museum of American History, this travelling exhibition features stories gathered from diverse communities across the nation. Photographs, engaging interactives, objects, videos, and augmented reality bring a multilayered experience to reveal the leaders, challenges, successes, and future of innovation in each own. Technical, social, cultural, or artistic—every sort of innovation story is as unique as each community.

Maryland Humanities is coordinating the exhibit’s tour throughout the State and is seeking six partner organizations to host SPARK! Places of Innovation.
