Makeba Clay, the inaugural Chief Diversity Officer (CDO) at The Phillips Collection, will talk about how America’s first modern art museum is developing and implementing strategies for diversity, equity and inclusion in its governance, exhibitions, programs and partnerships. “Just imagine my role as tentacles that touch every area of the institution. So exhibitions: I’ll be at the table asking questions and helping the team think about what the social implications are of the work we’re doing. Also, we’ll be doing some unconscious-bias training with our board and our whole staff. And I’m always saying, “Who’s not at the table?” We haven’t recruited people for our internships and fellowships from any of the historically black colleges in the area, as an example. And I’ve been meeting with some artists in DC who are historically underrepresented but maybe never even heard of the Phillips,” Ms. Clay said in the July 2018 Washingtonian magazine. Come hear how the Phillips Collection is preparing for its future.
Price includes two-course lunch.
