It was an honor to be part of this collaboration, thanks and kudos to everyone involved.
Some of these findings are important correctives to assumptions about race and culture in classical music. I hope it makes a valuable contribution to #equity in the #arts & #publicmedia.
We're thrilled to share new #research centering Americans of color about #music listening, w/ 4 #ClassicalMusic#publicradio stations around the US.

And join us for a free webinar about the study next Wednesday, w folks from @KingFM@WQXR & @WRTImusic.
Love this, esp. the work of "resident researchers...to learn more about how people relate to arts."
And what the #CenterForPeaceThroughCulture is doing. (The name alone: "culture" isn't the end, it's the means!)
Big, bittersweet news for us: @jenbenoitbryan will be stepping down from her role as president to become dir. of #research at @SMUDataArts and a prof. @smumeadows School of the #Arts. https://t.co/KwFPLQ7RVt
We're always thrilled for colleagues who go on to amazing things... 1/2
Yep, along with what I learned about the soon-to-be-announced President's Committee on the Arts & Humanities, research as advocacy (for change, not the status quo!), and more.
Would love to hear your thoughts, whether or not you were at this gathering in DC.
@PLinett's four takeaways from a recent #museumleadership gathering in DC, including:
What happens when "large museums and arts institutions are now being funded generously to do the kinds of community work that smaller and culturally specific organizations have long done..."?
All the attention now being paid to #arts orgs & #museums of color is because community purposes & identities are their founding principles; they didn’t come fashionably late to those, like many large, predominantly white #cultural institutions.

Talking about this otherwise great piece by Brett Sokol about Alberto Ibarguen's transformative tenure at @knightfdn. His inclusive vision will leave a hole.
But great to see @swampspace & other #communityarts innovators shouted out here.

Can we stop calling our largest #museums & #arts institutions "flagship" and smaller-budget, community-based organizations "scrappy"? Given inequities in #philanthropy and the power of language to shape policy, those terms perpetuate the status quo and keep small orgs small.

New post from @PLinett about community-based #research as one of the ways a #cultural org or #arts funder supports its community.
It starts with seeing not just the holes & gaps in the latticework, but the connective structures that hold it all together.

So proud of my Santa Fe neighbor, artist & santero Luis Tapia, named an @NEAarts National #Heritage Fellow - our country's highest honor in the folk & traditional arts.
Great to see recognition of the political, social & protest power of his artwork.

Wonderful, and I hope this sparks discussion and reflection. #Trustees in the #arts and #culture field are such a crucial part of progress and transformation.
Sharp & fun new post from @cgarfin about the eye-boggling web project @ArtButSports. Who knew that sports photography rhymes with #arthistory?
And hey wait, are sports part of #culture? Serious question, with practical effects. What do you think?

What an important intersection - this will be a terrific panel (& not just because @melodybuyukozer is my colleague).
And how vital all the "arts &" intersections are: where so much #creativity, #publicvalue, and #socialimpact are being generated these days. Can't wait to hear!
Love these places where empiricism meets activism. Congrats to all involved, and big thanks to all the #museum directors and changemakers who are participating in this critical upcoming #research.
So proud to be working with @MuseumsMoving (@mialocks + team!) on a Fall survey of workplace #equity in #artmuseums. Right now @jenbenoitbryan is doing a webinar w/@NU_CAMD about participating.
If your museum is interested, all the info at https://t.co/RAmqx0ag48 (Yes it's free)
What #communityarts really means:
"If the #theater were really made welcoming & accessible to all, this is what it might manifest—a stage bursting with performers diverse in age, race, size, habit & circumstance," & an audience similarly distributed.
Yes! https://t.co/TnXHoKPcRa
Yep, we're reviewing applications now and excited about finding a wonderful new colleague.
It's an awesome opportunity for a #socialsciences#research and #evaluation person who's interested in #equity & inclusion in the #arts/#culture/#community sector.
Know anyone...?
Hey #research peeps in the #arts & #culture field! We've just clarified the salary range for the #Researcher or Senior Researcher position we posted a few weeks ago. Please check it out...and we'd be very grateful if you can help spread the word!

Grief & rage far beyond #Buffalo. Let's do something this time. Starting with holding #FoxNews accountable for the hate-speech that made this anti-Black massacre all too predictable.
Here's a list of companies that support Fox News. You know what to do.
