There has been much ado in recent years about museum funding; from institutions declining support from organizations rumored to conduct unethical business practices, to the temporary expansion of deaccession fund regulations in the field. And gosh, even a little money laundering might be somewhere in the mix! In this episode, #ARCSchat welcomes art lawyer Katherine Wilson-Milne, a partner at Schindler Cohen & Hochman LLP and co-host of the Art Law Podcast, to help us explore what the future of museum funding might look like, and the potential for how it could evolve.

Deaccessioning is not new but it has reached new levels of controversy in the current state of economic hardship facing our institutions at the moment. In the first episode of Season 5 of the podcast Revisionist History titled “Dragon Psychology 101”, Malcolm Gladwell asks the question, ”Why not just sell something to pay the bills?” and proposes that museums are just hoarding if they refuse to sell amidst trying circumstances that result in mass layoffs and financial hardship.
#ARCSchat has solicited the help of two experts to react to the episode and directly address this challenging question. Robin Cooper, the Manager of Curatorial Affairs at the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields, joins to represent the curatorial and cultural interests at play. Nicholas O’Donnell, Partner at the law firm Sullivan & Worcester in Boston, who argued on behalf of the museum membership in the now landmark Berkshire Museum deaccession case and recently presented in front of the US Supreme Court will provide legal insight.
