Applause Special: Ohio Arts - State of the State's Art Museums
What does the future look like for our state’s art museums? When the Cleveland Museum of Art reopens its refurbished east wing in June, the WVIZ/PBS program Applause will produce a special program with the directors of all of Ohio’s major art museums about the status of Arts in Ohio. This special is part of the multi-media partnership with The Plain Dealer and will be hosted by ideastream’s Dee Perry and PD art/architecture critic Steven Litt. Through a panel discussion with Ohio art museum directors, they will explore how the economic downturn has affected arts in this state, and the various challenges each museum is facing.
