Communications during Disruptive Change
While museums are experiencing a time of broadening their perspectives and expanding their engagement and community of stakeholders, their communications play a key role in their expansiveness during this time of change. Museums are faced with changing expectations of their constituents from an aesthetic escapist experience to creating welcoming institutions where all visitors can find more personally relevant content, that is people/ community centered and welcoming to everyone. Communications involves not only external stakeholders, but internal discussions/disagreements that need to establish a consensus and be transparent with external stakeholders in order to build community. This panel will discuss communication strategies that are built on preparedness which are nimble and responsive to the current evolution of museums.
Featured speakers:
Jill Snyder- former director of Cleveland MoCA
John Melick- founder Blue Medium
Mary Ceruti- Director Walker Art Center
Franklin Sirmans- Director Perez Art Museum
