#ARCSchat October 2021: The Future of Museum Funding - Post COVID and Beyond
Friday Oct 08, 2021
Friday Oct 08, 2021
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.

As we begin the new year, #ARCSchat continues with the second part of our "Career Perspectives" series by talking to those just beginning their careers. Thus, we will chat with several emerging museum professionals about how they got into the field, and see if the year 2020 talked them out of it! More importantly, we'll see how their generation views the profession of collections stewardship and discuss their perspectives regarding its future.
Joining for the talk are Baylee Hughes from the Denver Museum of Natural Science, Michelle Kennedy from the South Street Seaport Museum in New York City, Carolyn H. López from the LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes in Los Angeles, Elizabeth Denholm, Associate Registrar at the Delaware Art Museum, Sophia Brocenos, Assistant Registrar at the National Portrait Gallery, and Rachel Smith, Collections Assistant, Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum, City of Waco.

#ARCSChat January 2020: Art + Museum Transparency
Friday Jan 10, 2020
Friday Jan 10, 2020
Happy New Year and welcome back for January’s #ARCSChat! This month hosts John Robinette (@CargaLatina) and Amanda Robinson (@ARobKabob) sit down and speak with Michelle Millar Fishar (@AMTransparency), one of the founders of the Art and Museum Salary Spreadsheet, the Internship spreadsheet, and most recently, a Union spreadsheet. Our conversation dives into how the salary spreadsheet came to be, looks at some of the wider ranging labor disputes happening in the museum and collections field, and explores both the future of Art + Museum Transparency and how we can begin to enact small levels of change, creating a field of collections stewardship that is more inclusive, accessible and diverse.
Below are links to the resources we discussed in our chat:
