Description

Artist Endowed Foundations (AEFs) are a growing presence in the international art community with significant intersections with the work of curators. Join colleagues from around the world in a day-long symposium on AEFs and gain insight into artist legacy, voice, and impact. This program will create opportunities to reflect on and engage with the ways curators and AEFs can collaborate to fulfill shared missions.

Three panel discussions and case studies with foundation and other legacy leaders will provide a comprehensive introduction to AEFs and offer insights into current trends, topical issues, and specific projects happening across a broad range of AEF sizes, budgets, disciplines, and geographies.

Symposium on Artist Endowed Foundations is a day-long workshop produced by the AAMC Foundation in partnership with the Al Held Foundation. The symposium is open to everyone with an interest in this important topic.

Session #3: Expansion and Impact

2:50 PM - 3:50 PM ET

Widening an AEF’s funding parameters, while maintaining the mission of research and activities centered on an artist’s work, has the power globally and locally to enact change in our arts communities by addressing inclusion, sustainability, and equity.

Previously she was Executive Director, Curatorial Affairs at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto; Chief Curator and Deputy Director of Programs at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; and Curator at MOCA, Los Angeles.
