SUMMARY:Aspiration/Obligation?  Imagining Intellectual Freedom in Museums
DESCRIPTION:Aspiration/Obligation?  Imagining Intellectual Freedom in Museums \n\nHow Do Museums Respond to Public Challenges to Their Exhibitions?\nWhat Would a National “Bill of Rights” for Museum Visitors Look Like?\nShould Museums Limit Access to Potentially Controversial Materials?\n\nSince the 1930s\, American libraries have organized their work around a set of core principles that places users and their unrestricted rights of access to information as a professional imperative.  Codified in the Intellectual Freedom Manual and supported by the staff and financial resources of the ALA’s Office of Intellectual Freedom\, these principles include such diverse topics as the need for fully cataloged and accessible collections and collections information\, the need to respond to challenged materials and issues of censorship\, the assurance of diversity in collection development\, and guarding against the economic and technological barriers to access—in all over 400 pages operationalizing a system of professional practice that is championed by the field’s highest professional organizations. \nMuseums\, too\, believe that principles of intellectual freedom are issues that matter deeply in the admittedly different nature of their work.  Yet no formal policy addressing intellectual freedom issues exists in any of the field’s leading professional organizations and few individual museums have crafted anything equivalent to the ALA’s “Library Bill of Rights” and the “Freedom to Read\,” which articulate and protect the intellectual freedom rights of visitors. \nAspiration/Obligation? Imagining Intellectual Freedom in Museums seeks to redress this gap by starting a discussion about the standards that have been established for library users and to imagine how these defining practices might be adapted in museums to assure that museum exhibitions\, collections information\, programming\, and artifacts remain available to all as we enter an uncertain future. \n  \nGuest Speakers: \nJames LaRue\, Office of Intellectual Freedom\, American Library Association \nA Model for Core Values in Museums: The Public Library and the Defense of Free Speech \n  \nSvetlana Mintcheva\, National Coalition Against Censorship \nThe Museum as Flashpoint of Controversy \n  \n  \nRespondents: \nPiotr Adamczyk\, ArtStor \nSusan Kornfield\, Bodman PLC \nJuanita Moore\, Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History \n  \nFriday\, March 17 \nAmphitheatre\, Horace Rackham School of Graduate Studies\, 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. \n  \nIntellectual Freedom Program Schedule

SUMMARY:Art for Sale?  Public Trust\, Public Debt: The Detroit Institute of Arts and the City of Detroit Bankruptcy
DESCRIPTION:In the two years since the City of Detroit came out of bankruptcy\, it has not been uncommon to read in mainstream media and the blogosphere “how close the city of Detroit came to selling its art collection.”  Such was never the case and\, in his lecture\, DIA Director Emeritus\, Graham Beal\, will discuss the legal\, social and political intricacies that drove the negotiations between a shifting set of entities\, finally resulting in a creative solution that satisfied most of the moral issues\, if not many of the creditors! \n  \nGraham Beal’s early career included curatorial and director positions at museums such as the Sheffield City Art Galleries\, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis\, the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts at the University of East Anglia\, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.  In 1989 he became the Director of the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha.  From 1996 to 1999 he served as the Director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. \nIn 1999 he became Director of the Detroit Institute of Arts.  Beal’s innovative “populist” reinstallation of the DIA’s great art collection has been internationally influential and was a major factor in securing regional tax support in 2012 for the museum’s annual operating costs.  In 2013-14 he was a member of the team that successfully defended the collection against City of Detroit creditors and negotiated the transfer of ownership of the collection from the City to a private non-profit.  He retired from the DIA in July 2015 and served as Hannah Visiting Distinguished Professor at Michigan State University for the 2015-16 academic year.  His publications include books on the American artist\, Jim Dine\, on contemporary British sculpture\, and on the history of American painting. He is currently writing a new history of the Detroit Institute of Arts.  In December 2015 the University of Michigan conferred on him an honorary doctorate in Humane Letters. \nMarch 21 at 6:30 pm – UM Museum of Art \nBeal lecture announcement

SUMMARY:The Smithsonian Institution and the Making of the American Nonprofit Sector
DESCRIPTION:When Englishman James Smithson left $500\,000 to the United States of America to establish the Smithsonian Institution in 1829\, he improbably forced the United States Congress to design America’s first national benevolent institution. This talk will address how Congress came to a decision about whether the Smithsonian should be a government agency\, a quasi-governmental institution\, or a private corporation in the mid-nineteenth century. Their decision has had a lasting impact on the formation of the American nonprofit sector\, I will argue\, as future philanthropic foundations used the Smithsonian Institution’s articles of incorporation as a model into the twentieth century. \nPresented by Elizabeth Harmon – PhD candidate\, American Culture \nFriday\, March 24 at 12:00 pm in the UM Museum of Art Multi-Purpose Room (125) \nBrownBag_Harmon \n

SUMMARY:Detroit 67: Looking Back to Move Forward – Community Engagement at the Detroit Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn 2015\, Detroit Historical Society began a multi-year community engagement project to commemorate the upcoming 50th anniversary of the civil unrest of July 1967. Called Detroit 67: Looking Back to Move Forward\, the project’s purpose is to bring together diverse voices and communities around the effects of a historic crisis. Its goal is to help our community members find our place in the present and to inspire the future. Those who engage in Detroit 67 will be able to better understand the events leading up to July 1967\, where we are today\, and connect to efforts that are moving Detroit forward. \n  \nIn this presentation\, Tobi Voigt\, Senior Director of Education and Outreach at the Society\, will talk about the origins of the project and its five key components: a comprehensive oral history project; a comprehensive\, balanced and experiential museum exhibition; an academic book publication with Wayne State University Press; a network of engaged community partners working in the region to promote understanding of the past and action toward a better future; and\, ultimately\, a model that other historical and community organizations can use to unite the community around the effects of a historic crisis. \n  \nPresented by Tobi Voigt\, Senior Director of Education and Outreach\, Detroit Historical Society \nFriday\, March 31 at 12:00 pm in the UM Museum of Art Multi-Purpose Room (125) \n  \nBrownBag_Voigt \n  \n
