On Feb.14, 2021, urban planner Danicia Monet posted a link to an open letter on her Facebook page, with its primary demand that Newfields CEO and president Charles Venable step down from the position he had occupied at the museum since 2012. That he ultimately did step down was certainly a dramatic development, but it may also be part of a broader shift occurring in arts institutions across the country and around the world. Monet’s letter quickly gained 2219 signatures.  Those who signed the letter insisted Venable step down because of a Newfields job posting that sought a museum director who would be responsible for attracting a “broader and more diverse audience while maintaining the museum’s “traditional, core, white audience.” The job posting was widely perceived as insensitive and racist and generated national attention inside and outside the museum community.
