A Newfields job posting in February included language that the ideal candidate attract a more diverse audience, while maintaining the museum’s traditional, core white audience. That was met with public accusations of elitism and racism.
Within days, Newfields s president resigned and leadership publicly admitted errors and vowed to implement change. Then Darrianne Christian was elected as the new chair of the organization s board of trustees. She is the first Black woman to lead the board.
WFYI’s Terri Dee spoke with Christian about the organization s response to the outrage and her vision that Newfields become known to be a welcoming place for all visitors.
