Embracing Winter
You’re either a winter person or not.
Winter is a tough time for people to find motivation. Some people love the snow, coziness, and hygge nature of the season. Others wait for the crocuses to pop through the crusty snow. Others move to states closer to the equator. Whether you’re a winter person…or not…we wanted to share a few creative winter activities that we see happening at some museums and nonprofits with the hopes of giving you some cold-weather motivation.
