And join us for a free webinar about the study next Wednesday, w folks from @KingFM @WQXR & @WRTImusic.
So proud to be even one spoke on this hub of great #communityresearch and inclusive #arts planning in #Massachusetts, set in motion by @BarrFdn. Inspiring piece by @Essex_CF & @BTCF leaders: commonwealthmagazine.org/opi…

Great to hear that this resonates across the pond... Thank you, Roger!
Peter Linett @SloverLinett makes telling points about working with communities: make them a full partner, see their assets as well as needs, help them achieve their goals: sloverlinett.com/news-notes/…
Big, bittersweet news for us: @jenbenoitbryan will be stepping down from her role as president to become dir. of #research at @SMUDataArts and a prof. @smumeadows School of the #Arts. sloverlinett.com/news-notes/…
We're always thrilled for colleagues who go on to amazing things... 1/2
...but we're sad to be losing Jen as a leader, mentor, coach, and co-creator here.
Stay tuned for some personal reflections from Jen and @plinett in the coming weeks.
#congratulations! #artsresearch #culturalpolicy #museums
Can we stop calling our largest #museums & #arts institutions "flagship" and smaller-budget, community-based organizations "scrappy"? Given inequities in #philanthropy and the power of language to shape policy, those terms perpetuate the status quo and keep small orgs small.

New post from @PLinett about community-based #research as one of the ways a #cultural org or #arts funder supports its community.
It starts with seeing not just the holes & gaps in the latticework, but the connective structures that hold it all together.

And @museumprogress, this was sparked by your post that @PLinett's riffing on - thanks for the smart provocation!

And apropos, we're excited to be talking about conducting another #research study of the #socialimpacts of folk & traditional #arts in lives and communities. (Our first was with @CalTradArts a few years ago. Learned and unlearned a lot since then!) Stay tuned...
So proud of my Santa Fe neighbor, artist & santero Luis Tapia, named an @NEAarts National #Heritage Fellow - our country's highest honor in the folk & traditional arts.
Great to see recognition of the political, social & protest power of his artwork.

A "respite room" where viewers can process, mourn, repair.
This is why we love working with @deyoungmuseum & other cultural orgs that are rethinking, decolonizing, healing. Kudos to Abram Jackson & others @ FAMSF for getting that it's not just what goes on the walls...

Happening now: @SMUDataArts’ Zannie Voss and @SloverLinett's @PLinett join @IMLSDirector Crosby Kemper for a panel discussion to share insights about the present and future of #museums in a post-pandemic world. #IMLSMuseums #IMLSConvening
#ICYMI here's @MellonFdn Pres. Elizabeth Alexander and @smithsonian Sec. Lonnie Bunch on the role of museums in telling the #AmericanStory. A fascinating and timely conversation:

We're so proud to work with amazing antiracist, justice-focused system-changers in #arts and #culture. Our sector has a unique role to play—and much more work to do. (Same goes for social #research and #evaluation.)
So let's take a breath together, remember Dr. King...and sing.

#CCTTstudy #culturetrack Ongoing thanks to @WallaceFdn @BarrFdn et al.!
Sharp & fun new post from @cgarfin about the eye-boggling web project @ArtButSports. Who knew that sports photography rhymes with #arthistory?
And hey wait, are sports part of #culture? Serious question, with practical effects. What do you think?
