Leadership Now: Empowerment in the Museum
Four new museum leaders discuss how they approach empowerment in public institutions
Overview
Expanding upon the Association of Art Museum Curators annual Art Curators Conference, held in Manhattan and virtually May 6–9, this talk brings together four museum directors who have recently moved into their current roles in leadership to discuss their interpretation of empowerment through work, collections, exhibitions, teams, and community, and how they approach this topic through their work as leadership in a public institution.
Representing four US-based institutions, four panelists discuss what it means to be a contemporary leader in a museum. What are their motivations to step into a leadership role at this moment in time and how is the idea of empowerment placed at the forefront of their work within their museums?
This program is organized by the AAMC, and was created by Judith Pineiro, Executive Director, AAMC & AAMC Foundation.
