Our museum is currently investigating ways to partner with city government.
I am trying to find art museums who have formed successful relationships
with municipal government either through operating agreements, as a
Department of the city, or other partnership arrangements.  I am trying to
find successful models for organizational structures, as well as budgetary
information, such as what percentage of the institution's budget is from
city support.  We are a newly establhished art museum in a medium sized city
(150,000-200,000 residents).  You may respond directly to me at

Thank you,

Rachel Biggerstaff
