The problem is not that art museums don’t make a difference to their communities. Rather it is because they are not very good at showing how socially relevant they are, a symposium on public art museums in Melbourne yesterday was told.
The symposium accompanied the release of The Journey to Economic and Social Impact – Showcasing Entrepreneurial Public Art Museums, a new research report exploring the benefits for art museums in measuring impact amidst the changing demands of the visual arts sector.
