The head of the Indianapolis Museum of Art has resigned. Charles Venable, director and chief executive of the museum since 2012, announced his resignation after criticisms of the job listing for a new director; Venable had taken up a new post as president of Newfields, the campus on which the museum is located. The job description, which encouraged applicants to make visitors to the museum more diverse while not losing its ‘traditional, core, white art audience’, has been condemned in a public letter signed by 85 employees and members of the board of governors of Newfields and also in an open letter signed by more than 1,900 artists, former employees and community leaders. The museum’s board has pledged to publish a detailed action plan to make the institution ‘diverse, equitable, accessible and inclusive’ in the next 30 days.
