How and why museums appear on screen

2021-03-29

Despite the difficulties of large film crews descending on an historic site, the importance of incomes derived from these collaborations has never been more pronounced. Other than using the filming income to support its events, exhibitions, education and outreach work, and help with the upkeep of the building, the exposure on screens also has the benefit of engaging new audiences.

Monthly subscriptions make membership easy to say yes to

2021-03-26

As cultural organizations continue to face declining membership and significant lost revenue during the pandemic, many are seeking ways to engage new audiences and retain existing members. Luckily, while the long-term impact of the crisis is still unknown, the path to a more accessible and financially sustainable membership program is clear: monthly membership.For years, monthly membership has been growing in popularity across the border non-profit sector, and proves to show some promising results: According to some studies, revenue from monthly giving increased by 22 percent in 2019, more than twice the revenue from one-time gifts; retention rates for monthly donors are from 85 to 95 percent, nearly twice the rate of other types of donor; and monthly giving can attract a younger, more diverse audience.Photo credit: Franck on UnsplashIt is especially during the pandemic, when budgets are tight for both members and institutions, that monthly membership could help museums to generate predictable and consistent cash flow. Museums may treat monthly membership as a simple alternate option to annual membership, and they may also make monthly membership an entirely new product with special monthly programs or a unique set of benefits. Meanwhile, monthly membership has the potential to be considered as a less consumer-driven alternative, shifting the members’ mindset towards donation rather than a consumption that usually involves cost-benefit calculation.What’s more, monthly membership can be a mechanism for improving diversity, equity, accessibility and inclusion within cultural institutions. This has been the case at Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh. Its monthly program launched in 2015 has "proven to be a way to diversify the membership base", according to the museums’ former Associate Vice President of Engagement Cari Maslow. By offering a more affordable option, many more museum lovers have the opportunity to access the benefits of membership, especially younger audience. It could also be an opportunity for young people to grow a lifelong interest in visiting museums.Source | American Alliance of MuseumsAuthor | Rosie Siemer & John Lewis

For better social experience, Fotografiska is merging with private arts club NeueHouse

2021-03-19

The Stockholm-based photography museum Fotografiska announced that it has merged with NeueHouse, the co-working and social membership space headquartered in New York.Moving forward, the two organizations will co-exist under a new parent company, CultureWorks, which brands itself as the “preeminent global growth platform for culture, experience, and hospitality brands,” according to a press release.For traditional non-profit institutions, this is quite an atypical move to make, and for Fotografiska, a for-profit museum, this move is likely read as a rebuke of traditional museology in favor of a trendy experience economy model that emphasizes its restaurant, entertainment and architectural offerings as much as its art.But chairman of Fotografiska Yoram Roth, who is also a majority investor in CultureWorks, believes that the merging is a commitment to the way many young people want to experience art in 2021, even if that means the museum starts to look less and less like the Met and more like a social club."I think there is a very staid and tenured way of looking at what the mission of a museum is and the way that it fulfills that mission, and everything else that is different from that is looked at as a threat or as not serious," Roth says. "We are not the competition. The competition is TikTok and the Xbox and Netflix. We need to get people off the couch."After the merger, crossover programming between the duo will become a regular occurrence, and branches of each are expected to pop up in the same cities.Source | artnet NewsAuthor | Taylor Dafoe

At Stanford, a new initiative will study and exhibit more Asian American art

2021-03-11

The Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University established the Asian American Art Initiative (AAAI) in January, a significant effort to acquire, preserve, display and research art related to Asian American and Asian diaspora artists and their practices.The initiative is anchored by the museum’s acquisition of 233 ceramic masks made by Ruth Asawa of the faces of her family, friends and fellow artists, and 141 artworks from The Michael Donald Brown Collection, a privately assembled group of pieces created between 1880 and 1996 by Asian American artists. Over the past months, the Cantor also obtained works by Michael Jang, Bernice Bing, Ian Cheng, etc.Ruth Asawa with life masks on the exterior wall of her house. (Photo: Terry Schmitt.)"With the exception of a few major figures, Asian Americans remain in the shadows of American art," said Marci Kown, assistant professor in the Stanford Department of Art and Art History in the School of the Humanities and Sciences, and founding co-director of the AAAI. These acquisitions not only fundamentally change the Cantor’s collection of American art, transforming it into one of the leading collections of Asian American art in the US, but are also poised to help change the history of American art as it has been written thus far.Among the first of its kind, AAAI will be shaped into a hub of study through collecting and exhibiting work by Asian American artists, forging new interdisciplinary research connections and collaborating with Stanford’s academic departments such as Department of Art and Art History and Center for East Asian Studies, while supporting undergraduate and graduate research in the field. It is also expected to engage community members across the Bay Area as the initiative takes further shape. A related conference and exhibition are planned for fall 2022 to rethink and reimagine the historical and theoretical dimensions of Asian American art and aesthetics."The Asian American Art Initiative arrives at a moment in which white supremacy, xenophobia and discrimination against immigrants are once again on the rise,” Kwon said. “These forces are not new, nor are their effects limited to Asian Americans. The study of Asian American artists sheds light on the entwined histories of racism, settler colonialism and capitalism, which have affected all ethnic groups in this country. Their work helps us see the myriad ways people of color have lived, struggled and survived.”Source | Stanford NewsAuthor | Beth Giudicessi
