The Queens Museum hosts a ‘Good Pantry’ in collaboration with La Jornada, and has provided food and art materials to over 32,000 families in Corona, Queens, director Sally Tallant says
“There have always been friendly rivalries among New York City museum directors, but since the pandemic started, we have come together in a way we may never have before,” says Ian Wardropper, the director of the Frick Collection. “There’s an amazing amount of cooperation.”
Wardropper was referring to the weekly or biweekly meetings the directors have been conducting for more than a year to share ideas about best practices and learn from each other. “It’s been a lifeline,” says Sally Tallant, the president and executive director of the Queens Museum. “If you were having a particularly difficult time, you could call anyone about how to handle it and they would make time to talk about it.”
