Montclair Art Museum Goes Lean

Wednesday, June 25, 2008

Montclair Art Museum, feeling the financial pinch after a statewide 12% funding cut for the arts, is cutting back on days and hours that they are open to the public. Effective July 1, the Museum will now be closed two days a week: Tuesdays as well as Mondays.
New visiting hours are Wednesday through Sunday Noon–5 pm.

Admission will increase to $12 (nonmember adults), $10 (senior citizens and students). Free admission continues for members and under 12, and is free for everyone on the first Friday of every month.

Yard School of Art Students and school tours will still have access to the Museum during morning hours by appointment. The museum will still be accessible on Tuesdays by appointment to school and adult groups, and Yard School of Art students.

Judging from the number of comments posted here, it's apparant this is not going to be much of an issue.

What I find interesting is that the museum cuts out two days, reduces their hours, and increases their fees and no one says anything.

The Town Council suggests that we look at our two library branches and that "maybe" we should cut back since the Bellevue branch is hardly open and yet costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and by their own admission the library says they are well funded and the public goes total berserk.

Why does the Museum get no attention and the library gets an off the charts reaction?
