“Right now, there is a tremendous loss of faith among people who gave everything to museums,” Eccles told me. “The furloughs and the layoffs had a terrible psychic effect on people in our industry.”

Meanwhile, layoffs have demolished the institutional knowledge built within museums over the decades. That's going to cost serious $$$ and time to rebuild, according to Tom Eccles, director of the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College.

Experts see a worst-case scenario: a drastic decrease in prospects accompanied by a wholesale revolt of the workforce who have accused leaders of failing to address systemic racism, sexism, and classism in their ranks.

42% of pandemic layoffs are expected to be permanent. We don’t know what proportion of those will occur in the arts, but here’s an indicator: NYFA has seen a 59% decrease in job listings over the last six months compared to the same period last year.

It should also be mentioned that @AkronArtMuseum is enlisting @uwsummitmedina for DEAI training. Oh, the irony!

Wild to hear @LottLaura talk about PPP as a "lifeline" when we KNOW institutions are misusing it AND getting away w it. It's always protect the institution, never the people. What is @AAMers doing to support us? Sadly the time for leadership is over. #CancelAAM
