Learning path for audience development - Visual Arts 1: mission and vision
Who is our audience? Who are we reaching today? And who do we not? What place and role does our audience have within our organisation? And how do we involve artists to engage in our audience development?
Are you responsable for the audience development in your organisation? We would like to get to know you better! Together with other colleagues, we will talk about the challenges around audience development in the visual arts sector. We will put different themes on the agenda such as access, exclusion, diversity and the social role of the arts.
We will organise three sessions within the theme of audiences this year. The first session is about ‘mission and vision’ and will take place on Tuesday 25 March at FOMU in Antwerp. Register to stay informed about the next sessions!

In the Kroniek Publiek (NL) article series, we explore developments in dealing with audiences. Who participates and who detaches? How do audiences challenge existing ideas about art? And where do we see opportunities for the audiences of the future?

"Lee Miller in print" @ FOMU
Model, war correspondent, photographer, surrealist: Lee Miller (1907-1977) wore many hats. As one of the few widely known female photographers of the first half of the 20th century she has made a valuable contribution to photography.
The Lee Miller in Print exhibition was originally developed by Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. A generous loan from the Lee Miller Archives, which manage the artist’s estate, enabled its realisation at FOMU. The exhibition resulted from years of research by curator Saskia van Kampen-Prein at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam.
