Foundation New Members and New Report

Art Institutions of the 21st Century is pleased to announce that a number of new members will be joining our advisory board. These include Michael Linington, Head of Major Giving at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), Elizabeth Neilson, Director, Zabludowicz Collection, and Jill Sterrett, Director of Collections at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMoMA).

 Our new publication, the report entitled Privately Funded and Publically Minded: Art Institutions in Transition is now accessible on request in PDF format. Printed copies will be available at the end of July.

 If you'd like to receive the report, please email us at [email protected]

The report examines the vital importance of institutions in today’s mutable cultural landscape. In particular, it traces the recent developments of private art institutions throughout the world, the best of which exhibit a growing trend in sophistication and ramping up of quality through professional standards, engagement with partners, and demonstrable public-mindedness. The new model of the private, publically-minded institution thrives in this moment of change, in which public funding becomes a decreasing resource, and partnerships between different sectors become the norm. The term ‘publically-minded’ would seem to be productive when assessing the growing responsibilities of present and future institutions.
