In this post I would like to share my thinking around the importance of demonstrating to the grantmaker that your organization reaches out to, and includes, varying cultures. Both our boards and our staff, not to mention our membership, need to reflect the cultures of the communities where we work and live. Demonstrating Inclusion.

I'm trying to reposition our museum as a cultural hub supporting creative and intellectual community growth. I know my museum is very far from these goals--we're still just laying the groundwork to be able to provide consistent cultural services to the community.

Here's what happened: In 2010, amidst severe financial woes and declining audiences, the Museum of Contemporary Art in LA (MOCA), hired Jeffrey Deitch, a NYC gallery owner, to be their new director. It's wild to see so many bloggers and museum directors and critics weigh in. Is it good value to pay a museum director $650,000 per year?

And I talked about some of the challenges of finding the right income and expense models for a museum that operates more like a community center than a traditional cultural institution. This was a topic I was never interested in before I became a director. Here are our slides and Ellen's handouts if you want to learn more.

In Denver there's another way. Billed as "part art museum, part public forum," The Lab at Belmar is a contemporary art space in a suburban Denver development. The point of Belmar was to replace a dying shopping mall with a vital city center for Lakewood, an inner suburb of Denver, and art seemed to be part of that concept.
