The Timesâ Sarah Bahr, who is based in Indianapolis.
However, any attempts by the museum to explain by this point were in vain.
A petition addressing âartists, cultural leaders, advocates, and allies against racismâ began circulating on Feb. 14, calling for signatures. The petition stated that the wording of the job description âblatantly detailed the way in which systemic racism permeatedâ Indianapolis.Â
Among the demands of the petition â just like the open letter from the group of Newfields staff and board members â was for Venableâs resignation. By 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 17, there were 2031 signatures on the petition.
