Conflict Description:
This is a conflict that has ended but revolved around naming rights at the former Miami Museum of Art. In 2011, the Miami Museum of Art was going through a capital campaign, when Jorge M. Pérez, a board member of the museum, took charge and was the first to support the museum’s capital campaign by contributing 35 million dollars, 20 million dollars in capital and 15 million dollars worth of artwork. In return, the Miami Museum of Art renamed the museum in his honor to the Pérez Art Museum Miami. The renaming has an “in perpetuity” clause, meaning the Museum was legally bound to keep this name forever. Pérez stated that he wanted “to have a legacy other than my family.” This led to several board members and the president of the museum to resign, and some major donors to pull their pledges to the capital campaign. One board member said against the renaming, “We feel we made a pledge to the Miami Art Museum, not to the Jorge Pérez Museum.” Furthermore, the land the museum is on was donated by the city and both city and county taxpayers contributed roughly 100 million dollars to the capital campaign. This led citizens questioning why Pérez’s smaller gift of 35 million was allowing him to have the building renamed when the citizens of Miami had donated a larger portion to the campaign. Also, critics are stating that naming the museum after Pérez as it could deter future high-level donors in contributing either monetary funds or artworks.

Witness: Art and Civil Rights in the Sixties, an exhibit currently on display for the general public at the Brooklyn Museum, is something I’d recommend anyone here in the Tri State area to go see. While unsure what exactly to expect before arriving, it took me by surprise as to how well it was put together.
The Midwestern contemporary art case study revolves around the current MCA board chair Peggy Fischer, and former board chair Peter Smith. Smith had been elected to the board after individuals recognized him and his wife for the immense art collecting accomplishments put forth on the couples behalf. Initially Smith was indebted to pay $10,000 to even be elected onto the board chair. Smith indeed paid an initial pledge of $10,000 and financially made amends to put forth $5 million additional dollars towards museum improvements. It is no deniable fact that Fischer had recognized Smiths admirable job running the museum. Smith worked his way up from being a member of the board to board chair. Smith and his wife were highly recognized by the community and aimed to stay out of the spotlight whenever possible.
The Getty was named after J. Paul Getty, who first started the museum in his house in 1954 which is now known as Getty Villa. The second location is the Getty Center that is located in Los Angeles was opened to the public on December 16, 1997.

The Tampa Museum of Art was not always the same museum that we see today. It went through multiple stages throughout the years. The works vary, creating a large spectrum from the old to the new. The social angles change with the exhibits in the museum, combining to create the diversity we see today. Visiting this museum in person helped me to appreciate it even more than I would have thought possible. Observing and analyzing the other visitors helped me to understand the museum’s impact on the community more than I would have been able to just by reading about it. This museum is much different from others than I have visited.
The Miami Nation has an old conceived belief system that contains both traditional and evolved elements that are essential in day-to-day life for many (The Traditional). The representation of the Miami Nation continues to exist through the everlasting myths and legends of not only their nation, but also their culture. Thriving to exist, the Miami nation continues to speak their native tongue, the Algonquian language and continues to rebirth stories such as Wisaakatchekah who was directly created by the Great Spirit. Often misunderstood, the Miami Nation continues to be the most powerful and historic tribe of the Midwest.
Located on the lower east coast of Florida the city of Miami is bordered by the Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Going east from the city the islands of Key Biscayne and Miami Beach help shelter the bay from the Atlantic Ocean, giving Miami a naturally protected harbor. The elevation of the city never rises above 40 feet and within most neighborhoods the elevation stays under 10 feet. The highest undulations are the Miami rock ridge which is found along the coast. A majority of the city lies on the shores of Biscayne Bay which contains hundreds of natural and artificially created islands, the largest being Miami Beach and South Beach.
The trip to the metropolitan museum was a great trip to learn and to study art. What is art you may ask, well art is an expression you use to show a visual picture. It can be through painting or through sculptures. Some other example of art is music, literature and dancing. For today 's paper we will be talking about art as a sculpture. The two sculptures in this photo are King Sahure and a Nome God and Marble Statue of Dionysos leaning on archaistic female figure (Hope Dionysos).

His original typed proposal and budgets for exhibitions, workshops, performing arts projects, apprentice program, and research and library resources, all to be administered by El Museo del Barrio, are in the archives of El Museo del Barrio, as well as a letter to Puerto Rican artists, where he introduces the institution: “The Museo del Barrio is its title: a neighborhood museum of Puerto Rican culture. . .” El Museo del Barrio receives its primary funding from the Board of Education from 1969 until 1974. Montañez Ortiz stated, “The cultural disenfranchisement I experience as a Puerto Rican has prompted me to seek a practical alternative to the orthodox museum, which fails to meet my needs for an authentic ethnic experience. To afford me and others the opportunity to establish living connections with our own culture, I founded El Museo del Barrio.” (Ralph Ortiz, “Culture and the People,” Art in America, May–June 1971,

The Institute of Museum and Library Services is an independent government agency that tallies the number and type of museums in this country. By their count, there are 35,000 active museums, this represents a doubling of the number estimated in the 1990s (Ingraham 2014). Colorado has around 200 museums and five dedicated to African Americans (Visit Denver, 2016). The Black American West Museum started in the barbershop of the founder, Paul W. Stewart, out of his love childhood love for “Cowboys and Indians. Stewart moved to Denver as an adult and met his first real-life black cowboy, after being told there was no such thing as black cowboys. Exhibits at the museum include the history of miners, buffalo soldiers, pioneers, cowboys, early explorers,
The metropolitan museum is the largest art museum in the United States, and one of the largest in the world. Upon going to the museum I found myself wondering how I can choose three artifacts out of nearly a million different relics. After spending countless hours roaming the three story museum and looking at the vast amount of artifacts I found myself overwhelmed with inspiration to write this analysis. The only dilemma was how one can narrow down the selection to three relics out of hundreds of thousands. After sometime I picked the three relics that I found interesting, spiritual, and showed a significance in modern and ancient history. The three relicts I will discuss in this essay are the following; Family Tree, Emperor’s Twelve-Symbol Robe, and lastly Mans Shirt, these three artifacts show in my opinion how god, the spirit and the universe all reflect upon the individual wearing the clothing/stories painted upon the person.

Items displayed in museums hold historical significance and are representative of society’s culture. Preserving valuable collections for education and enjoyment is a primary role of museums. While fulfilling this role, the architecture of the museum is also an important factor. Historical buildings are converted into museums and architects must consider the use of the space and the museum’s purpose during their initial design. Other museums are built with a clear purpose in mind. As museums are designed, many characteristics are determined. Display and storage spaces as well as visitor services impacts museum’s functionality. Based on the function of a museum, architectural requirements are different.

I tied my photos and captions to work together with a good layout and analytical perspective. My argument is not being made very clearly. It is more about how nice the museum looks not what the space is arguing and what my actual argument at the top is making. I need to push my argument more and support it with information that is relevant to the claim. My flyer is more about the space than the fact that the “art museum enriches students’ lives by contributing to the education of all university students by helping them become knowledgeable of cultural diversity.” If someone looked at my flyer they would think I am making the general argument that people should go to the art museum because of the different art and activities it has, not because
