Feb 27: Exhibitions: Experimentation, Risk & Reward
presented by the California Association of Museums
With the exhibits “Altered State,” (executive produced by Katz) the Academy took an authoritative stance on the issue of climate change. The panel discussion, “Exhibitions: Experimentation, Risk and Reward,” held Feb 27 at the Hotel Kabuki in San Francisco, will address, from the museum operator’s viewpoint, the rewards and challenges of experimentation and risk-taking – daring to try something new in a community that is traditionally risk-averse. It is moderated by Ann Marshall of the Autry National Museum. With Katz on the panel are Kitty Connolly and Karina White of The Huntington Library and Jonathan Spaulding of the Autry. This session is part of the California Association of Museums Annual Conference running Feb 25-28. More info: www.calmuseums.org.
