It considers diverse models of governance and their impact on social innovation, strategy, and operational excellence. It examines the role and importance of key actors in the sector, including foundations and other grant-makers, as well as service providers, government entities and social enterprises. And it explores how organizations can most successfully engage in fundraising, taking on two perspectives: that of the organization seeking to fulfill its mission, and that of consumers making philanthropic gifts.

In conversation with Associate Professor of English and Creative Writing Kimberly Juanita Brown.

In 2021, institutions are trying to do whatever they can to keep their doors open, while wrestling with staff shortages, budget cuts and a stronger awareness of their own environmental responsibility. When taking into account the high cost, risk and environmental impact of exhibitions, is there a more sustainable way for museums to bring people back into their institutions? Can they continue to rely on high performing big-ticket touring shows for income? What about smaller museums that can't afford these exhibits in the first place? Is there a more economically and environmentally sustainable way forward?

In this webinar, we will debate the importance of touring exhibitions while discussing sustainability, hyper-locality and the reality of making ends meet for museums in their current reality.

The 2018 Ladd Lecture

Affluent collectors hire art advisors to prevent mistakes when spending millions. But hobbyists have always developed expertise without paying a tutor, and so can art lovers. In this talk, author and art world veteran Maxwell Anderson will share his techniques when evaluating fine art and design, and how they guided him during an eight-month quest to acquire what would become the world's most expensive work of art, Leonardo da Vinci's Salvator Mundi.
