Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse, NY
In a first-time collaboration with the university’s Hendricks Chapel and its long-running Malmgren Concert Series, the Syracuse University Art Museum brought the Duke Ellington Orchestra and its own university choir together to help visitors broaden their understanding of Gordon Parks as an interdisciplinary artist and to connect the music, art, and culture of his lifetime to that of the present day. In the concert, the orchestra and choir made direct connections to the exhibition "Gordon Parks: Homeward to the Prairie I Come."
The Syracuse University Art Museum aimed to reach 300 visitors with this program and increase community engagement in spaces outside of the museum building.
Through this on-campus partnership, the Syracuse University Art Museum was able to tap into existing and brand-new audiences, engaging 600 visitors. It was the best-attended program in the museum's history.
For university museums, cross-campus collaborations can enhance reach. By incorporating interdisciplinary elements like music performances by notable artists, they can reach audiences in new ways and help people make personal connections.
The Richard M. Ross Art Museum hosted a series of student-planned "Chill Nights," featuring crafts, screenings, and food to engage historically underserved Ohio Wesleyan University student groups and nurture a sense of belonging inspired by Fritz Scholder’s "Hollywood Indian."
The Mint Museum’s two-day “Amazing Grace” community celebration featured art, music, and dialogue inspired by Eldzier Cortor’s "Southern Souvenir No. II," using gallery tours, performances, and hands-on activities to engage the public in critical conversations about history, resilience, and healing.
