GLAMP

This is business acronym for Gallery, Library, Archives, Museum, and Performing Arts. It refers to any business entity in the arts or humanities.

It’s usually used to define a market segment. For example, a software vendor might advertise their software as “an ERP for the GLAMP space.” Employees might identify themselves as working in GLAMP (“I’d like to find another job in GLAMP…”)

I’ve also seen it without the G (“LAMP”).

Why I Looked It Up

I had seen it before, and knew what it was, but I stumbled onto again and had to look it up.
