American Federation of Arts announces FIRST ANNUAL CURATORS FORUM April 29 - May 1, 2001 in New York City Keynote Speaker: Philippe de Montebello As you know, significant changes in the definition and function of art museums are reshaping the traditional role of curators. Cultural influences and economic demands have changed the way exhibitions are interpreted and marketed. While the profession assumes greater administrative responsibilities, the challenge to balance curatorial, institutional, and professional priorities has become more complicated. The goal of the Curators Forum is to engender a professional exchange, disseminate knowledge and experience within the field, and facilitate a dialogue that will continue beyond the conference. This will be accomplished through a lively program featuring speakers, panel discussions, and a workshop from Sunday, April 29 - Tuesday, May 1 at The National Arts Club and the Whitney Museum of American Art. The fee is for this conference is $275 for AFA members and $325 for non-members. The three-day program includes all conference materials, selected meals, and special evening events. Please note that the Curators Forum is not an association or membership group and will not endorse standards, guidelines, or policies of professional practice. The program is open to curators from non-profit art museums and galleries of all sizes. Assistant and independent curators, and directors of institutions, who also serve in a curatorial capacity, are not eligible. For more information, please e-mail us the following: your name, title, institution, address, and phone number. ________________________ John W.
