***#ARCSchat January 19 at 1:00 p.m. ET The Post-COVID Courier Part 2: The
Full Chicago***
Couriers are the moment's big unanswered question sitting on the tips of
the tongue of museums all across the world. We dared to tackle it in
December, but ended up with an onslaught of questions and ran out of time.
As a result, we return to you on January 19th with a special "Ask Me
Anything" episode designed specifically to answer audience questions
directly from our listeners. Bring your thoughts, worries, and comments for
our panelist and come prepared to participate with your colleagues in the
chat.

To help address your questions, we brought in two experts from the great
windy city:

-Cayetana Castillo, the Executive Director Collections and Loans at the Art
Institute of Chicago, who gave a widely viewed presentation last year in
conjunction with the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD)
-Tiffany Charles, the Head of Exhibitions Registration at the Field Museum
in Chicago, and who also serves on the AAM Traveling Exhibitions Network
Task Force.

Join us Tuesday, January 19th at 1:00 p.m. EST. #ARCSchat
