It definitely seems like a mistake to me to reserve a disproportionate amount of money for the exclusive purpose of acquiring new works of art. While it goes without saying that this is an important function of the CMOA, these are funds that could be used toward marketing and creating an space that draws visitors in. The museum would do well to focus on becoming an institution that inherently pulls in a crowd, rather than relying on the newest temporary exhibit to create a surge of interest. In Indianapolis, the museum of art is beautiful and extensive and has always been free for general admission. However, in April, they are being forced to begin charging relatively expensive prices for everyone. These are symptoms that there needs to be a rethinking of how these museums approach and attract their potential visitors. <54-102> 54-102 54102
