Subject: [MUSEUM-L] AAM proposal - university museum wanted

Hi,
A few weeks ago I posted to the listserve announcing that I am planning a session on non-accessioned collections for next year’s AAM, and asking for participants.  I’m very pleased at the responses I’ve gotten!  But one thing that is missing so far is the perspective of a university museum with a “decoration” collection. By this I mean a bunch of art that is used to decorate the university offices at their request.  This is an understandably uncomfortable kind of collection to have.  But I was intrigued by comments at AAM’s Collections Conundrums session last month.  There was a conversation on the subject, and a couple people spoke up for the concept of a non-accessioned decoration collection, because it offers service and educational opportunities within the university community.  I would love to have someone at my session to present on this subject!  If you are interested, please contact me at the email address below.

Thanks!
