In Conversation with The Fine Art Museums of San Francisco

This episode of MAP’s series Director’s Cut features Thomas P. Campbell, Director and CEO of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. 

The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco is an open, accessible, and vital contributor to the cultural life of San Francisco. Since joining the museum, Campbell has worked to strengthen its ties to local communities through an ongoing Free Saturdays programme, key acquisitions and partnerships, and the de Young Open – an open invitational exhibition that celebrates creativity in the Bay Area. Over his thirty-year career, Campbell has worked towards the preservation, study and promotion of art as a gateway to human understanding.

The Director’s Cut series, anchored by MAP’s Director, Kamini Sawhney, offers a glimpse into how the institution of the museum is being reimagined and reinvented today and presents a unique opportunity to hear from reputed practitioners in museums around the world as they reflect on their institutional experiences, behind-the-scenes challenges, unique initiatives, and more.
