Announcement:

Directors Forum Preliminary Program Released

The Directors Forum, established by the AFA in 1994, provides a singular
opportunity for leaders of smaller art museums to engage distinguished
leaders in the museum, artist, academic, government, and business
communities, and to network with their colleagues.

Make plans to join us this fall on November 7-9, 1999.  Participants
will experience the vast diversity of art institutions in New York
during visits to the Cloisters at The Metropolitan Museum of Art,
Christie's, The Museum of the City of New York, and The National Arts
Club, Registration includes all sessions, gallery tours, opening dinner,
two lunches, evening receptions, closing dinner, and limited
transportation.

Although the program is organized primarily to benefit the directors of
small to mid-sized museums, the directors of larger institutions are not
discouraged from participating since many of the themes are universal.
A two-tiered registration fee provides a discount for the directors of
AFA member institutions while enabling nonmembers to participate.

Please contact us to request a copy of the preliminary program.
