Art Museum Under Fire For Inartful Job Listing

(NEWSER) – The Indianapolis Museum of Art is looking for a new director. And in a regrettable job posting, it said that person would be working to maintain the museum’s “traditional, core, white art audience” while also attempting to attract a more diverse audience, the New York Times reports. Now, not surprisingly, the museum is apologizing. The current director and chief executive, Charles L. Venable, says the ad was meant to explain that while the museum is working toward more equity and inclusion, its existing audience would not be forgotten. However, “if we were writing this again, with all the feedback we’ve gotten, we wouldn’t write it that way,” he says. Indeed, the wording has been changed to simply, “traditional core art audience.” 

The guest curators for a planned Black Lives Matter exhibit at the museum have pulled out for now, the Indianapolis Star reports.

  1. The museum’s core is what it is – white. They just made the mistake of speaking the truth.

    Most libtards can’t handle the truth, it bursts their delusional bubble. To other libs, it just aggravates their perpetual anger and self-loathing. So they both turn to grievance mongering to sooth their tormented soul.

  2. This, is what you get when you try to be appeasing to a crowd of fools.

    You’re never going to be permitted to make things better, “its” not what they want.

  3. The solution is to ban all color. Paint is racist. White canvases will no longer be tolerated either.

    BTW: I love it when liberals at nonprofits get tripped up by their own wokeness and are virtue shamed by radicals with no skin (of any color) in the game.

  4. Well, Popeye’s … some things are worth fighting over.
    Chuck-E-Cheese – not so much.

    I always stop at the Art Museum after I pick up my dinner from Popeye’s.
    Chicken and biscuits with a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20 – shit, dawg, don get much better’n that!

    izlamo delenda est …

  5. The job offering is 100% unadulterated bullshit.

    To take that job offer at face value would be to paint a target on your back. Shit art cannot compete against real art in the open market. The person who took this job would be expected to destroy what exists in order to make what it is to be replaced by not shrink to insignificance in a direct comparison.
