Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse, NY
In a first-time collaboration with the university’s Hendricks Chapel and their long-running Malmgren Concert Series, Syracuse University Art Museum brought the Duke Ellington Orchestra and their own university choir together to help visitors broaden their understanding of Gordon Parks as an interdisciplinary artist, and to make direct connections between the music, art, and culture of Parks’ life and times and our own. The orchestra and choir used their performance to make direct connections to the exhibition "Gordon Parks: Homeward to the Prairie I Come."
Syracuse University Art Museum aimed to reach 300 visitors with this program and to increase community engagement in spaces outside of the museum building.
Through this on-campus partnership, SUAM was able to tap into existing and brand-new audiences. This helped them engage 600 visitors, making it the best-attended museum program in the museum’s history.
For university museums, cross-campus collaborations can boost reach. Including interdisciplinary aspects such as music performances by notable artists can also help audiences make personal connections and can reach them in new ways.
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.
