Museum Social Impact Study

Big news for the Square! We are excited to announce that our organization has been selected to participate in a national study by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM) on the social impact of museums! Only 40 museums across 25 states were chosen, and we are proud to represent Arizona in this important research.

Participants have been selected, and the study period runs from March to the end of August. If you are a participant and have any questions, you can reach out to use at sarah.matchette@thesquarephx.org or at 602-388-8090.
