2013 MUSE Awards – Congratulations
Congratulations HarborWalk folk!
The Walking Cinemas of the HarborWalk are receiving a national – and apparently quite distinguished – MUSE award from the American Association of Museums. The “medals” are given out the weekend of May 17th – (we’ll hope for the gold.)
Untravel Media developed the Walking Cinemas, and were creative people who completely “got” Gloucester. And in the inimitable way that Gloucester has, the community recognized compatible folk doing cool stuff, and joined in. Just listening to “Uncle Joe” tell the history of Fiesta in under 30 sec, or watching a demonstration of how to “do the walk” is enough to make you glad to live here. (By the way, you can take a short cut and watch the Walking Cinema clips on the website – www.ghwalk.org – or put on your headphones with your iphone and do it live.)
Over time, people will find all these different treasures along the Walk. There are the Story Moments, and also the Postcards, and most definitely the Walking Cinema. This award will be wonderful for alerting travelers to seek them out.
Congratulations to all!! Please share this with others you know who starred on the Walking Cinema stage. They are medalists!
