Dear Colleagues,

On Wednesday, November 29th, from 8 AM PT/11 AM ET to 9 AM PT/12 PM
ET, the Balboa
Park Online Collaborative <https://bpoc.org/> (BPOC) invites you to our
latest webinar, Dreaming of Building More Inclusive Art Collections.
Attendees can expect to learn more about creating a sense of belonging in
your institutions with collections that reflect your diverse communities.
You’ll gain insights into the following topics:


   -

   Only 4% of art across museums and galleries in the United States are
   from Black Women artists. TILA Studio’s #AboveFour Campaign seeks to change
   that. Its goal is to increase awareness and interest around Black Women’s
   participation and contributions in the Fine Art Industry.
   -

   Discover the curatorial opportunity within the community of Los Cruces,
   New Mexico. Learn how the University Art Museum at New Mexico State
   University brought a previously inaccessible collection of Mexican retablos
   online. You’ll hear how the Catholic iconography was connected to
   contemporary artists and how it spurred fundraising for the previously
   forgotten collection.
   -

   An undergraduate class at Davidson College researches its art collection
   to identify gaps and uses a fund and rubric to acquire new works. You’ll
   also hear how the Van/Every Smith Galleries at Davidson are making an
   effort to input more information about the artists back in their database.
   -

   Hear how Children’s Hospital Colorado exhibits artworks that reflect the
   people visiting and working within the hospital. Examples will be shared
   from exhibits that celebrate LGBQT, Hispanic Heritage and Black History.
   You’ll hear how they’ve collected feedback
