This member only event is an opportunity for the sector to hear from the Directors of 4 public galleries - 3 that will have re-opened and 1 that is in the planning phase - about their approaches to implementing new physical distancing measures & visitors limits at their galleries; and to hear from those galleries that have re-opened on how visitors are responding - both to their re-opening and to the new measures. This will be followed by 15 minutes of Q&A - an opportunity for members to seek answers from their peers and share learnings.
