The top story in the August issue of Aviso, the American Association of Museum’s newsletter, rehashes the debate between between me and AAM over the new Museums & Community Collaborations Abroad (MCCA) program, funded and guided by the State Department in partnership with AAM.
What’s new is that the deadline for proposals has been extended to Aug. 24. Could it be that museums are shying away from applying, because they agree with my view that “AAM has done a disservice to its members by signing up for this dubious government-curated enterprise”?
