Is my distaste for rails reasonable?
6
I loath hanging from rails. It seems obviously asking for bad things to happen, yet this is the preferred method all over campus. Part of my role is hanging art around campus in offices and hallways. I prefer hanging with security hardware, but Facilities get's upset if I put holes in the walls. We have grooves everywhere on campus to hang from, usually with wire or monofil. Is it totally irrational that I have deep anxiety about hanging from these rails? Every time I think about it I start imagining some student sitting underneath a painting haphazardly and knocking it off the wall onto themselves. -- Rachel Rushing (she/her) Director, Taber Art Gallery Holyoke Community College www.hcc.edu/taber

Hello all, I am an intern (soon to be full hire) at a small art museum and have noticed that many of our frames have significant buildups of dust on top. I have an appropriate brush and am not too concerned about dusting our glazed works, but I am unsure about unglazed. Is there anything I can do to minimize the dust kicked up while cleaning and prevent it from settling on the surfaces of works? Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks, Jake Lofaso

IMLS Termination of Grants
Hello Friends, Like many of your institutions, MoCP received a letter from IMLS terminating our multi-year grant as of April 8, 2025, under the General Terms and Conditions for IMLS Discretionary Grant and Cooperative Agreement Awards Issued After December 21, 2020 When I read the General Terms and Conditions on the IMLS site, I recognized right away that the language in Term 29: Terminating an IMLS Award before it's Completion had been altered from when MoCP agreed to the grant terms and conditions in September of 2023. The agency has added this language to Term 29: The Federal award may be terminated in whole or in part as follows: By IMLS, to the greatest extent authorized by law, if the award no longer effectuates the program goals or agency priorities. For instance, following the issuance of the Federal award, if additional evidence reveals that a specific award objective is ineffective at achieving program goals, it may be in the government's interest to terminate the Federal award. Further, additional evidence may cause the Federal awarding agency to significantly question the feasibility of the intended objective of the award, such that it may be in the interest of the government to terminate the Federal award. I've attached the original IMLS Gerneral Terms and Conditions for IMLS Discretionary Grant and Cooperative Agreement Awards Issued After December 21, 2020 to have on record what the terms and conditions were when museums signed IMLS grant agreements between December 21, 2020 and September 30, 2024. I am not a lawyer, but it seems to me unlawful to alter the original Terms and Conditions. In my "Termination Review" letter to IMLS, I plan take the position that the terms and conditions at the time of our award acceptance did not include the current expanded termination clause and that MoCP has remained in full compliance with the scope, reporting requirements and financial stewardship of our grant. I will, of course, also write about the negative impact this termination will have on the museum and its programs. I am interested in how others impacted by IMLS grant terminations are approaching this and if there are opportunities to band together to fight. Thank you, Natasha Natasha Egan Executive Director Museum of Contemporary Photography Columbia College Chicago 600 S. Michigan Ave. Chicago, IL 60605 negan@... MoCP.org

A Shelter in the Storm - The Garden: Thistle and Thorn (traveling exhibition) is available for bookings
Good Morning: Non-partisan, The Garden: Thistle and Thorn is the perfect exhibition to mitigate unprecedented stress. Inspired by nature, the sensory packed artworks promote well-being and encourage mindfulness through an immersive environment that quiets the noise of our challenging times. In much the same way that a private enclosure or garden setting creates a sheltered contemplative respite, this uplifting exhibition offers a concrete and time proven alternative to the complexity of today¡¯s discordant, divisive, and digitally mediated experience. As new research confirms, people report higher levels of health and happiness if they spend a mere 120 minutes per week in a natural setting. So inspired, The Garden: Thistle and Thorn compels you to set aside your anxiety and to put down your phone. As such, The Garden: Thistle and Thorn is a calming oasis that can refresh your spirit and quite possibly renew your soul. Perceptually tactile and expressively verdant; elemental references to light, air, water, earth, and fire are embedded in the light filled and colorful interdisciplinary works by eight artists. During this time of heightened anxiety and uncertainty, The Garden: Thistle and Thorn offers a much-needed refuge and a heartening reprieve. Bookings are currently available with a New Reduced Booking Fee. Reach out with your interest and/or questions. I look forward to hearing from you.
