This summer the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery (MAG) and friends are excited to get Red Deerians involved with art, history, and culture around the city through a “Meet Your Museum Red Deer” social media campaign.

Visit a Red Deer interpretive centre or museum in July and/or August, use hashtag #MeetYourMuseumRD, tag the location you’re visiting and the MAG on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, and be entered into a random draw for one of six gift baskets! Each basket is themed around the locations participating, plus there is an additional grand prize gift basket.

Visit the following museums or interpretive centres this July and August: Kerry Wood Nature Centre, Fort Normandeau, Sunnybrook Farm Museum, Norwegian Laft Hus, Alberta Sports Hall of Fame & Museum and the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery (MAG). Giveaway runs from July 1, 2019 – August 31, 2019. Don’t forget to tag the place you are visiting and tag the MAG to be entered into the draws.

Receive one entry into the #MeetYourMuseumRD giveaway for each interpretive centre/museum visited in Red Deer, AB, by taking a photo during your visit, and tagging that organization and the MAG on social media. Include your “I Met My Museum” pin in your photo (available at the MAG & participating organizations), and receive a bonus entry! Three winners will be drawn for 3 random gift baskets on July 31st and another 3 on September 3rd. There is a maximum of 2 entries into the monthly draw per visit, per organization. All entrants will also receive 1 entry into the grand prize gift basket. There will be a $50 gift card to the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery present in each basket, plus additional items from and/or themed around each participating site.

All visitors to participating organizations will have the opportunity to enter into the grand prize giveaway onsite, as well. Full details can be found at https://www.reddeermuseum.com/your-museum/mymsummergiveaway/.

The MAG is hopping on a provincial #meetyourmuseum campaign that is organized by the Alberta Museums Association. This summer, museums across Alberta are inviting their communities to meet their museums, and we want Red Deer to be a part of it! The campaign is designed to increase awareness of Alberta museums, boost attendance, and promote joy and collective celebration of Alberta’s culture and heritage. Red Deer’s museums and interpretive centres are a significant contributor to our community. Museums like ours are leading contributors to the social, cultural, and educational fabric of Alberta, and 93% of Albertans feel that historical resources contribute to a greater quality of life in Alberta.
