The center announced today that it will be the first United States affiliate to the GRAMMY Museum, which is based in Los Angeles. The GRAMMY Museum's executive director, Bob Santelli, says they are partnering with selective cultural institutions.
"This relationships would, indeed, be a two-way street. It would mean: the sharing of resources, technology, expertise, sharing of exhibits, sharing of scholarship; putting on and co-producing concerts, academic conferences, programs, etc."
Santelli also emphasizes that partnerships will also include universities and interns.
"To come to the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles, but perhaps come to Tulsa as well. And to send kids from Tulsa to the GRAMMY Museum. Two-way street that is mutually beneficial to both institutions, and in the end mostly beneficial to students as well as to the communities we establish these relationships with."
To add to the announcement, the Woody Guthrie Center is celebrating its first anniversary. It also announced today as the opening day for the Bruce Springsteen: A Photographic Journey exhibition presented by both the Woody Guthrie Center and the GRAMMY Museum.
