Our panel topics are taking shape! We will go into some deep dives on the following current matters:
- Everything but the Search – succession planning, contracts through retirement, and on-boarding of the Director.
- Insight into what foundations are looking to fund now and what priorities younger funders are focused on in their own philanthropy.
- A sharp focus on estates that are heavily weighted in art versus other assets and how collectors can handle this specialty area for planning and gifting.
- Cultural Property, Museum Issues: Michael McCullough and Patty Gerstenblith will present on the latest litigation that affects lawsuits against American museums and collectors.
- As of 9/15, all registrations are Non-Refundable
We are pleased to offer Samuel H. Kress scholarships to our signature Friday Forum, September 29, 2023. These scholarships afford trustees of small museums and young emerging museum professionals the opportunity to participate when a cost barrier might be preventative.
Saturday, September 30 & Sunday, October 1
Chicago Patron Weekend
MTA Patrons will participate in a thoughtfully selected program of museum and private collection visits - only MTA Patrons will experience exclusive elements of the art world that are not accessible to the average visitor. These private events provide ample opportunity for board members from across the Americas to network with their peers and to build long lasting relationships with like-minded MTA Patrons. Registration is al la carte but attending every event is strongly encouraged for the most robust experience. Programming concludes with two days of exclusive private collection tours for MTA Patrons ($1500+ donors).
