<div dir="ltr">Hello everyone!<div><br></div><div>I hope you're all limbering up, practicing your poses, and oiling up your selfie sticks (or not, depending on your museum's policy) because it's almost that time of year again: #MuseumSelfie Day!</div><div><br></div><div>The fifth #MuseumSelfie Day is happening on January 17 - that's one week away. Lots of BC museums took part last year, so we're hoping even more do this year! You can post pictures from within exhibits, a selfie of your museum building, show off something cool (with you next to it), or something completely new and creative that we haven't thought of yet. Have a museum mascot? Why not get them to "take over" your social media accounts?</div><div><br></div><div>#MuseumSelfie day is open to all. Staff can participate, or you can encourage your visitors to join in. The important thing about this event is to have fun!</div><div><br></div><div>Be sure to post on Twitter or Instagram (or Facebook, but the big action will be on the other two networks) using the hashtag #MuseumSelfie or #MuseumSelfieDay, and while you're at it please include #BCMuseums so we can find your great posts! You can also follow <a href="https://twitter.com/MuseumSelfieDay" target="_blank">@MuseumSelfieDay</a> on Twitter and Instagram for more details.</div><div><br></div><div>Happy snapping and see you online next week!</div><div><br></div><div>Ben</div><div><br></div><div><img src="cid:ii_160dd5f849b8cc73" alt="Inline image 1" width="544" height="544"><br></div><div>Photo: one of Museum of Vancouver's 2017 #MusuemSelfie shots - we love it!</div><div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="m_-8664288128638999586m_8406326758241734282gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size:12.8px" color="#000000"><b>Ben Fast</b></font><div style="font-size:12.8px"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000">Programs and Member Services Coordinator</font></div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px"><p style="margin:0in 0in 1pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt"><span style="color:rgb(237,125,49);font-family:arial,sans-serif">BC Museums Association || 675 Belleville Street || Victoria, BC || V8W 9W2</span></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 1pt;font-family:calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt"><span style="color:rgb(237,125,49);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14.66px">Office: <a href="tel:(250)%20356-5700" value="+12503565700" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">250-356-5700</a></span><span style="color:rgb(237,125,49);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14.66px"> || <a href="http://www.museumsassn.bc.ca/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">www.museumsassn.bc.ca</a><br></span><span style="color:rgb(237,125,49);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14.66px">Direct Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/benfaster" target="_blank">@benfaster</a> Twitter: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/BCMuseumsAssn" target="_blank">@BCMuseumsAssn</a> Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BCMuseumsAssn" target="_blank">BCMuseumsAssn</a></span></p><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:12.8px;margin:0in 0in 0pt"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><i><br></i></font></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:12.8px;margin:0in 0in 0pt"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><i>The BCMA is looking for 2018 Webinar hosts!
