This article is unintentionally a demonstration of how this institution lost its way and still shows no sign of getting back on track. No one is asking what level of confidence the public should have in the board, which over time has blown it on two consecutive directors and with this obsession with race and useless (as numerous studies have shown) diversity training will probably do it again. More than a year after Venable’s departure the best they can say is they have interviewed over 60 people, which shows a startling lack of focus. Change the name back to IMA, remember that it’s an encyclopedic art museum not a social justice organization, and drop the gimmicky exhibits that are as intellectually nourishing as a bag of Cheetos. Just pathetic and getting worse.
Four days later and not one other comment?
I believe that’s called a mic drop.
Put 21R on the IMA board … and on the board of the philanthropic organizations behind this postmodernist tripe.
Amen, 21R and Mark L.
The IMA has had a volunteer docent program for decades and is composed of highly trained art smart mature (mostly) women who are dedicated to presenting art to school children most of whom are minority. The docents have been in a retraining mode for the past 6 months by this PINK outfit not about art but about Wokeness. I guess these ladies are not very trainable in the fine art of Woke as they have now all been fired (released) and the docent program has been shut down. The kids will be the losers. Talk about cutting your ear off to spite your face.
With all the focus on DEIA, it’s ironic that THE LUME, the museum’s most popular exhibit, is not inclusive. FAQs from the Newfields website:
I have sensory sensitivities, is THE LUME for me?
THE LUME Indianapolis is a multi-sensory experience with bright and contrasting lighting, changing sounds, large images, crowds, or various additional stimuli. A small percentage of guests may experience health difficulties or even epileptic seizures when exposed to certain light patterns, noises or flashing lights.
