The increased need for cultural spaces to maximise income generation means organisations have to get very clever about how they use their spaces (with the assistance of designers, and by listening to their operational teams). Of course there is the additional age old problem of where do you hide/store everything which provides quite a headache.

The need to hire out the unique spaces in museums can lead to challenging briefs for museum designers!
I'm in the process of designing a gallery that presents stories using a very wide range of collections but also needs to cater for 200 people for hired events (sketch below).
I'd love to hear from anyone who's faced the same challenge and how you tackled it.

Love this article!!!! I like to try to cross-pollinate with different artistic medium for surprising results. But love the idea of calling on experiences and emotions from your day job to guide your artistic work!! I have a project coming up in a few weeks that does just that! Blending my love for art with my world as an emergency room physician. Stay tuned.
Most artists based in the United States take on day jobs due to the high cost of living. Success is often measured by their ability to quit a day job and focus full-time on creating art. Yet these day job positions—even if unrelated to an artist’s practice—are not always impediments to their careers.
A new exhibition co-curated by Veronica Roberts, the John and Jill Freidenrich Director of the Cantor Arts Center, reveals how day jobs can spur creative growth by providing artists with new materials and methods, hands-on knowledge of a specific industry that becomes an area of artistic investigation, or a predictable paycheck and structure that enable unpredictable ideas.
Why did I have so much fun at the museum (Indian Instrumental museum)? 🤔What is it that made my (user) experience wonderful?
The following might be a few reasons/ few things that made my user experience good (carousel)
As a designer, I try to observe the designs around me and get inspired by them. This observation will be useful if I look for the “why” behind the aesthetic value and experience of a design.

💌🖼️ Welcoming Walls: The Myth of 'Invite-Only' Galleries
The misconception that galleries are exclusive 'invite-only' spaces is a barrier we are determined to break. Here's how galleries can become beacons of inclusivity: #BreakingBarriers#EveryoneWelcome
🌟 Our strategy includes:
* Regularly scheduled community events that are free and open to the public, advertised widely across social and local media.
* Creating partnerships with cultural and youth organizations to diversify the audience and artist representation.
* Promoting a 'come as you are' atmosphere, where casual attire is as welcome as formal wear.
Watch as we transform galleries into places where everyone feels at home, regardless of their background or experience with art.

🥰 HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO FALL IN LOVE WITH A WORK OF ART?
Does it only take one look 💖 Or does the process take time, attendance and knowledge? 🕰️🔍
An art collection is the narrative of the person who created it, an act of love, an unceasing passion that drives us to want to be surrounded by creations that represent our personal interpretation of beauty. 🎭💕
I say that collectors are the artists of their collections. 🎨🖼️
They live art, appreciate it, admire it, choose it and surround themselves with it, placing it in the important places of everyday life: their home and office where they often spend most of their hours. 🏠🏢
And where do you place your collection? 💌🤝

How do you curate an art show for a museum?
I honestly never gave it much thought until my conversation with Nandini Makrandi Jestice and co-host Melissa Hefferlin. I’ve always appreciated the shows I’ve seen, but never thought in detail about what might be involved.
Our conversation with Nandini, the Head Curator at the Hunter Museum in Chattanooga, TN changed that profoundly.
The video clip with Nandini below is an eyeopener. It’s as important to lead the conversation about how we see, perceive, and think about women’s roles in art as it is in, say, advertising.
Here’s a teaser quote from the beginning of the video “if everything in a gallery is a painting of a white woman by a white man, [then] ….”
Expanding horizons and educating museum goers is already a huge task. But Nandini also takes on attracting ALL people to her museum and works to help them recognize themselves in the art, and learn about different cultures, traditions, and ways to see the world!
If you like the clip below, I encourage you to listen to the entire conversation to learn a lot more about how museums today are looking to include all people, not just the elite into the conversation.

It would be hard not to hear or notice the many people on LinkedIn that sound extremely qualified for jobs but remain un-hired after months.
It would be hard to live in LA and not notice a change in the industry in various ways. Less production trucks blocking the street parking. Less magazines promoting actors in their homes. Huge reduction (if not extinction) of residual checks for anyone who is an artist.
It's also always obvious that the world is still functioning with money and jobs being passed around, and projects are happening, and some people are working in fabulous jobs with fabulous incomes.
If I judge history now, I think COVID plays a big part in what is happening now to the work force. It shook everything up and we are still waiting for a new version of our society to settle in the industries I work around. And I think a lot of great people are out there and some companies will be very lucky to pick them up!
Let's keep passing around and posting job opportunities for our communities. I do not know a thing about Fabric but maybe someone I know is looking for that Designer job!
