What’s the Fee?

Join other museum professionals for a discussion of fees and fee schedules for artists, faculty, academics, and other presenters. How do we determine what to pay for programming, exhibitions, and commissions? What’s fair given our different institution sizes, budgets, and staff? Discuss frameworks for compensation as we navigate this tricky terrain together.

Meet the Speakers

Liz Canter is the Manager of Academic Programs at the Tufts University Art Galleries, responsible for strategic audience development initiatives that promote the integration of exhibitions and collections, visual literacy methodologies, and object-based learning into the Gallery’s programs and the Tufts curriculum. In addition to designing and co-teaching interdisciplinary classes with faculty, Liz leads professional development workshops engaging instructors and future teachers in conversations about arts-integrated curriculum and pedagogy. Prior to joining the Gallery staff at Tufts, Liz spent a dozen years teaching in urban public schools, including the Museum Partnership School in Fitchburg, MA, which at the time was the only Lincoln Center Institute focus school outside of New York. Additionally, Liz has consulted with several Boston-area museums to design museum-school curricula, interdisciplinary (art-science) programs, teacher resources, and interactive tools to engage audiences in critical thinking and free-choice learning. Liz holds a BA and Graduate Certificate in Museum Studies from Tufts University and an EdM in Learning and Teaching from the Harvard University Graduate School of Education.
