They get things done thru other people, like getting galleries to associate with shows and exhibits, etc. Usually museums have small staffs, sometimes only 1-2 people in management, plus a few hired for maintenance, etc. They now "outsource" their programs to galleries, who of course have an interest in promoting their own artists. This is good for those artists! Why not? Everyone seems to benefit. Lets continue this trend, perhaps is will begin to recognize the "lesser" known artists and give them an opportunity to compete with "masters" works shows that tour nationwide at high costs..Thanks for the presentation - keep up the good work.
