Episode 207: Connecting Art Museums, Communities, and Personal Passions
Laura and Matt GrundlerAlison Wade
As art educators, we understand the true value of art museums. They help nurture a localized appreciation for the arts, connect us to the world and the past, and introduce us to contemporary work and ideas. In today’s episode, Matt and Laura speak with the Association of Art Museum Directors’ (AAMD) Chief Administrator, Alison Wade. Hear how art museums help foster stronger relationships within communities. Discover unexpected connections they have with non-art fields of study, such as medicine, and how art museums walk a bipartisan line when it comes to advocacy. Listen in to learn how important advocacy is to an art museum and the important role they have in advocating for art education.
