More information on panelists here. 
Systemic barriers to equity in the arts are increasingly gaining a spotlight. This panel brings together a group of arts professionals–curators, gallerists, arts entrepreneurs, and a museum director–who are all actively responding to the need for equity in collecting. The panelists will discuss issues including responsibilities to constituencies, advising collectors, making art accessible, just compensation to artists, equity in whose art is being collected, and equity in who is doing the collecting.
