Activating Academic Art Museum & Gallery Relationships: Art Objects and Experiences in Institutional Collaborations

Session will present: In-Person
Affiliated Society or Committee Name: Museum Committee
This session seeks to explore examples of deep collaborations between academic art museums & galleries and the audiences which they serve and engage. We seek case studies focusing on museum collaboration with one of three groups (universities, local communities, or creatives) that demonstrate the breadth of opportunities for academic art museums & galleries to further engage with campus and public audiences or stakeholders. Our goal is to cultivate a larger community discourse around the ways museums work together with other entities to broaden access to art historical studies & museology and serve as sites for interdisciplinary collaboration and exchange.

To highlight multiple models and deepen the conversation, this session will use the round-table format where contributors offer brief 5-to-10-minute case study presentations, followed by a discussion and Q&A session with the other members of the round table and the audience.

Please note: This session will be accompanied by a workshop with the session chairs and presenters to further discuss and explore best practices and logistical considerations involved in collaborative planning processes.

Case studies that explore collaboration as an opportunity for learning and training for the next generation of scholars/museum professionals, for use of collections and exhibitions in university pedagogy, or for rural/urban partnerships are particularly of interest to the Museum Committee.
