Making Art Central Through "Adventures in Modern Art," Philadelphia Museum of Art

Neighbors, Charles Sheeler, 1951

'If the arts are ever going to be a really important part of Americans' lives, they can't be seen as a frill, an add-on, something to do in one's spare time. They have to be integrated with everyday life. That's one reason I like "Picturing America," the National Endowment for the Humanities program I wrote about here and here, and that's why I like a new program of the Philadelphia Museum of Art -- "Adventures in Modern Art."

Brandeis University decides to close Art Museum

Brandeis University's board of trustees recently voted unanimously to close and sell the collection of the Rose Art Museum sighting growing budget problems and the current economic crisis. 

What do you think about this decision, and how might it influence other donors, patrons, colleges, and universities? What do you think about any potential violations of past legal agreements involving art and monetary donations to their art museum? Should any tax penalties be levied for art sales?
