The importance of public transparency for arts orgs: Most U.S. art museums have shifted their stated missions to emphasize public service and engagement over preserving objects, yet few institutions openly offer basic information on how they are run, according to a new study. According to the study, 60% of the 200 U.S. art museums studied say their mission is to serve the public, while another 30% say their mission is a balance between public service and their collection. The remaining 11% continue to focus on objects. Yet only 17% of these institutions make two important disclosures: visitation numbers and audited financial statements; 43% share neither of those figures. Of those that do provide something, 43% share the number of visitors to their institutions, while 37% share financial statements.

The recent article celebrating the Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA) “Half A Decade of Open Access” brilliantly highlights the #museum’s remarkable journey and its pivotal role in promoting #openaccess to #art and #culture. Jane Alexander and her team have truly paved the way, showing how technology can democratize access to cultural treasures. Their efforts are commendable and set a high standard for the global art community. Amidst the platforms leveraging CMA’s open data, #FeelTheArt should be noted for its contribution to extending the reach of these artworks to remote audiences. It uses CMA’s open access content effectively, importing and translating details on 14,000 artworks into 10 languages. This contributes greatly to inclusion, education, and #accessibility. The platform enriches art availability with engaging and interactive experiences. #Augmentedreality (AR) and #AI features enhance art #education and engagement. These technologies are especially beneficial for the elderly and those who cannot visit museums in person. By recognizing FeelTheArt alongside other platforms that use CMA’s open content, we can appreciate the full spectrum of innovation and dedication to making art universally accessible and enjoyable. CMA’s initiative is critical in this mission, contributing uniquely to the broader goal of cultural access and participation.thanks for this work Jane Alexander LIVDEO La French Touch La French Tech Business France

Abstract art? What's the deal? I've got a debatable topic for you in today's Museum Monday blog post. Check it out and share your thoughts! https://lnkd.in/eN7XGSbp

Of course!!

I have selected this work for the offer "Behind the Masks of Utopian Joy", which will be held at Chili Art Gallery (13-15 Dimofontos Street, Thissio) from Thursday, 22 February to Saturday, 2 March 2024 and online via ARTgrid, for a month. I have four works to choose from. Two of them will be selected to be put on display during the exhibition. The works are available in 5 hand-signed prints on museum-quality materials. I'm very interested in the exhibition's theme: what's behind the overly optimistic masks. What do we use to mask or reveal our thoughts/feelings? 1. Grey Scarf 1.

#contenporaryart #ZERO #sonicart #soundart #radio #deventer #museum #eicas From February 4 to May 26, one can visit three installations by Roland Kuit at the Museum EICAS in Deventer. This museum makes art from the 1960s onwards accessible. Its point of departure is the pioneering ideas of the Zero movement, which still echoes in contemporary art. ZERO = language. Roland explores in three installations the discussion that is not being had. For example, about people not reading anymore. About the role of the masses when balls are thrown up via social media. About what happens when people stop thinking or stop thinking for themselves. Mass installation. Where six thousand table tennis balls form a social media landscape and emit pulse sounds as mass communication, from taps to noise-like sounds. They travel trajectories in the ball-covered terrain. https://lnkd.in/eSnECW5x
