REGISTRATION DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 1st THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF ARTS FIFTH ANNUAL DIRECTORS FORUM November 8-10, 1998 New York City 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. The Directors Forum is a wonderful way to connect with the decision makers in museums who are ready to compete in a market environment. This November participants will experience the vast diversity of cultural institutions in New York during programs and receptions at 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 PS1: Center for Contemporary Art. To participate in the Directors Forum, individuals must be full-time, paid professional directors of nonprofit art museums or galleries open to the public on a regular schedule. Members of the American Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD) and directors of artist-managed institutions are not eligible.
