Indianapolis museum apologises for posted job description describing a core, white art audience

The Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields The Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields has apologised for and amended a job listing it posted last month saying that it was seeking a director who would seek to maintain its “traditional, core, white art audience” as well as attract a more diverse one. The wording has been changed to remove the word “white” amid a backlash from critics including guest curators for a planned exhibition at the museum titled Drip: Indy’s #BlackLivesMatter Street Mural. The two curators, Malina Simone Jeffers and Alan Bacon, who oversee GANGGANG, an Indianapolis-based art incubator for artists of colour, said on Saturday they could not continue in their roles and asked the museum to apologise to all of the artists involved in the show and to embrace a strategy for displaying “more works from more Black artists in perpetuity”.
