#ARCSchat October 5, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. ET

There has been much ado in recent years about museum funding; from institutions declining support from organizations rumored to conduct unethical business practices, to the temporary expansion of deaccession fund regulations in the field. And gosh, even a little money laundering might be somewhere in the mix! Join #ARCSchat October 5th when we welcome art lawyer Katherine Wilson-Milne, a partner at Schindler Cohen & Hochman LLP and co-host of the Art Law Podcast, to help us explore what the future of museum funding might look like, and the potential for how it could evolve. The chat streams live on YouTube starting at 1:00 P.M. ET and will be released as a podcast the following Friday
