THE 1998 DIRECTORS FORUM

The Directors Forum has become a conduit for the information and
inspiration that has redefined the role of art museums today.  Each
year, art museum leaders gather in New York to discuss the successes and
failures that advance their mission within communities nationwide.  The
conference is an opportunity to rediscover the power of art to
captivate, challenge, and educate. This year's program, A UNIQUE
PERSPECTIVE: Exploring the Big Impact of Small Museums is designed to
foster a dialogue among museum professionals from institutions of all
sizes through panel sessions, discussion groups, and workshops.

Make plans to join us this Fall on November 8-10.  Participants will
experience the vast diversity of art institutions in New York during
visits to The Drawing Center, The Fisher Landau Foundation, The Forbes
Magazine Galleries, The New Museum of Contemporary Art, The National
Arts Club, The Pierpont Morgan Library, and PS 1.  Registration includes
all sessions, gallery tours, opening dinner, two lunches, evening
receptions and limited transportation.  Printed programs will be
available in July.

Meanwhile, please send for a complimentary copy of the transcripts from
last year's program, GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS: Art Museums in a Market
Environment, made possible by The Joe and Emily Lowe Foundation.  If you
have never attended the Directors Forum, this provides an excellent
chance to learn more about this conference.

Registration is limited to art museum directors who are not members of
the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD).  Please do not hesitate
to contact us with any questions that you may have at 800-232-0270,
extension 39 or e-mail <[log in to unmask]>
