Hi All, Do any of your institutions offer a rush ticketing system to arts related events on campus for faculty/staff? As in, a last minute ticketing options when tickets are available? We are looking to encourage greater engagement with the arts, and someone mentioned that this kind of system might exist on other campuses. If so, I would love to know more about iterations that exist. Thank you! Jan Hebbard

Dear Colleagues, The Spencer Museum of Art is excited to hire a new engagement coordinator for our study and learning centers. The Lee Engagement Coordinator for Study and Learning Centers will coordinate activities across the Museum’s academic suite, which includes the Ingrid and J.K. Lee and Stephen H. Goddard Study Centers, and Jack & Lavon Brosseau Center for Learning. With the Lee Study Center specifically, the Coordinator is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations as well as developing and facilitating innovative cross-disciplinary engagement opportunities that realize the full potential of this hybrid classroom space. Designed to support the temporary display of three-dimensional objects, textiles, and Asian paintings, the Lee Study Center is a 2000-square-foot object-based learning facility prominently located within the galleries. The Coordinator will also assist with the Museum’s two other flexible teaching and learning spaces, the Goddard Study Center, a more intimate space for collection access, and the Brosseau Center for Learning, a flexible gallery for short-term collection installations. Integral to these duties includes handling a wide variety of museum collection artworks, cataloguing, and other related duties. As the Coordinator becomes familiar with the Museum’s 48,000+ object collection, they may also work with instructors to select artworks for study in line with their curricular goals. Part of the Academic Programs and Public Practice team, the Lee Engagement Coordinator reports to the Curator for Works on Paper and works collaboratively with colleagues across Academic Programs, Public Practice, Curatorial, and Collections.

Dear Academic Museum & Gallery Colleagues, I am thrilled to share two positions we are hiring for at the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art at Utah State University. We have a great team here. We work hard and have fun. We serve the University campus and we are the only art museum in an 80-mile radius. We also have a Mobile Art Truck that traverses rural Utah to bring a museum experience to youth and communities far away from any art museum. We are opening the new Wanlass Center for Art Education and Research at the end of April, which will expand the types of experiences and educational programs we provide to university faculty and students, K-12, and the community. Logan, Utah, is located in northern Utah within a valley surrounded by beautiful mountains. It’s a place where people embrace the outdoors with skiing and winter sports during the colder months, as well as hiking, mountain biking, and more in the warmer months. Utah State University is one of the largest employers in the Valley, so there’s a small-town vibe with more cultural offerings than you would expect for its size, including lots of theatre and performing arts. It’s a very safe place. Utah is one of the fastest-growing states, so the economy is good. Unemployment tends to be some of the lowest in the nation in Logan. How’s that for a sales pitch? Have a look, and please share if you know someone interested!

Hi Everyone, We have an established exhibition policy and have recently updated our outdated "content warning" signage with wording based on NCAC guidance. Our policy recognizes the "rights of every member of our community to share their views and to enjoy the autonomy necessary for risk-taking and innovation." and provides "an environment where both new ideas and contested ideas are welcomed and explored. Consistent with our commitment to freedom of speech, we will not censor student work in response to political or ideological pressure". However, one point of continued friction between the administration and exhibitors is in areas that are viewable by passersby in public spaces (street-facing windows, etc). I'm not finding a lot of information or examples about this specific situation. What I can find mirrors our current policy that our institution does not censor artwork, but reserves the right to choose the time and place it is shown. This often raises more questions for which we currently do not have clear, institutionally backed, answers 1. Who determines what is "potentially offensive" and what criteria are they using? 2. This is still often considered defacto censorship because some spaces are openly viewable from public areas outside of our institution. 3. Does the potential sensitivity of an unsuspecting member of the public outweigh the importance of freedom of expression? We frequently find ourselves between opposing opinions on this, and as you can imagine, in recent years this has become increasingly contentious. I would appreciate any guidance, sample policy statements or experience that you may have for this or similar situations. All the best, Tyson SkrossDirectorSVA Gallerieshe/him ? 212.592.2283 601 W 26th St, suite 1502New York, NY 10001 Stay Connected with SVA
