Group 15 Notes for AAMG webinar 11.5.20
As follow-up to the September open forum on the mission of academic museums during COVID-19, this open forum will allow participants to share and explore new or revised exhibition and programming practices as the pandemic continues. We will explore the extent to which our museums have chosen to pivot to online exhibitions and programs and identify the risks and benefits. What have you learned about your institution that might impact your approach to exhibitions, programs, funding, and how you work in the future? How are academic museums innovating around these challenges, and what can we learn from the current moment to promote greater and more equitable museum access, participation, and collaboration in the future?
This open forum was jointly sponsored by the Association of Academic Museums and Galleries (AAMG), Northeast region, and the New England Association of Museums (NEMA) professional affinity gathering for college and university museums.
Forum co-hosts:
Carey Weber, Frank and Clara Meditz Executive Director, Fairfield University Art Museum, Fairfield University, Connecticut state representative, AAMG
Deborah Disston, Director, McIninch Art Gallery, Southern New Hampshire University, PAG Coordinator for College and University Museums, NEMA
