FROM THE ART MUSEUM PARTNERSHIP...

Information for the 2006 Directors Forum in New York City on October 22 - 
23 is now available. To join the leaders of art museums nationwide for 
this program just visit our web-site at: www.ArtMuseumPartnership.org . 

At last there is a professional organization created for and by the 
directors of art museums that includes all institutions. The Art Museum 
Partnership was formed to facilitate the sharing of information, resources 
and collections among institutions of all sizes and types. This provides 
you with an important opportunity to network on a national level in one of 
the great art capitols of the world and gain a competitive advantage in 
your career.

The inaugural conference will begin with a reception and dinner at the 
historic National Arts Club sponsored by AXA Art, followed by two days of 
informative sessions at the American Folk Art Museum , Rubin Museum of Art 
and Dahesh Museum of Art. Eminent guest speakers will explore a variety of 
timely subjects including disaster management, collaborations with 
consultants, and new audience development.

The keynote speaker during the opening dinner is Robert Workman, director 
of the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, which is being developed by 
the Walton Family Foundation on one-hundred forested acres in 
Bentonville , Arkansas . Participants will also enjoy morning coffee 
receptions sponsored by Curatorial Assistance Traveling Exhibitions, a 
private luncheon at Christie’s in Rockefeller Center , an exclusive 
screening of the film "Who Get's to Call It Art?" from Palm Pictures, plus 
special evening receptions at the Charles Cowles Gallery and Michael 
Rosenfeld Gallery.

Since space is very limited, early registration is advised. The deadline 
for registration is Monday, October 16.
