    1. The museum is still the IMA. It’s on the Newfields campus, along with the Lilly house and 100 Acres Art Park. The name wasn’t the problem.

  1. We live in a peculiar age in which woke jihadis demand paternalistic head-patting under the guise of diversity and call that actual accomplishment. No one is actually fooled by this.

    1. Yes, we live in an age where racism and racial ignorance are no longer accepted. Welcome to the 21st century.

  2. Unfortunately the core white audience is where the real money to operate and maintain the place comes from, so that does remain important to the longevity and quality of the museum. I can also only hope that ‘museum quality art’ is what we maintain to strive for, and not dilute the museum showings with contrived ‘inclusive’ art just to say we did, and satisfy this new sophomoric demand of diversity.

    1. The attitude that diverse, inclusive art is not museum quality is part of the problem, as is the attitude that there is not “real money” to be had in diverse communities. Demands for inclusiveness are not sophomoric, they are business imperatives. This is your opportunity to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

    2. Sophomoric demand of diversity? The real money comes from the “core white audience”? I guess my money as a Black man isn’t as good as your white money. Didn’t realize there was a difference. I for one, quit going when they started Newfields. By the way, the real money doesn’t come from white people going to the museum. It comes from corporate donations and fundraising efforts. Since corporate America seems to be interested in diversity now, I’d say they’re better off continuing on the path they are now.

    3. You seem to hold white people in very low esteem. Are all the white individuals you know unfamiliar with, or even afraid to view, art not created by white artists? Are they all so uncultured that they are unaware that some of the world’s great works of art were created by non-white artists? I cannot speak for your friends and associates, but the people I know enjoy and appreciate diverse works of art, literature, film, theater, etc. Non-white individuals can be just as talented and accomplished as white creators, and they are quite capable of producing “museum quality” art.

  3. Wesley, wanna bet that more money comes from white donors than black donors? No one said your money isn’t as good it is just that “white” money is a large part of their income. It must get tiresome being offended by everything white.
