A Conversation on the Future of Teaching Museums

A Conversation on the Future of Teaching Museums

What does it mean for a museum to truly teach? Join Flaten Art Museum Director Jane Becker Nelson in conversation with two leading voices in contemporary museum practice and leadership as they explore the evolving challenges and possibilities facing teaching museums today.

Daisy Desrosiers is an interdisciplinary art historian, curator, and museum leader currently serving as Director and Chief Curator of The Gund at Kenyon College. A co-curator of the 15th Shanghai Biennale and a member of the Center for Curatorial Leadership Class of 2023, she brings an international perspective and deep commitment to reimagining what college art museums can be.

David Little is the founder of David E. Little Art Consulting, LLC, and brings over 25 years of senior leadership at some of the country’s most prominent institutions — including the International Center of Photography, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and The Museum of Modern Art — to questions of museum strategy, education, and the public role of art.

Free and open to the public. Light refreshments provided.

Following the talk, guests are welcome to explore the Flaten Art Museum. Galleries will remain open until 6 p.m.
