Are art museums far too white? Well, yes
Are art museums far too white? Well, yes. According to the American Alliance of Museums, about 80% of museum workers are white, and 50% are men. Okay, so it’s clear to see there’s not a lot of diversity in the field. In order to help change this situation, the Andrew K. Mellon Foundation has initiated a two-million-dollar diversity fellowship to help students from underprivileged backgrounds receive hands-on curatorial training in major art museums across the United States.
