“Our value - and values - as staff will be better recognized through an organized and collective voice,” he said. “The exhibitions, public programming, and community engagement that Mass MoCA facilitates would not be possible without the talented and dedicated staff who work to make it happen.
It’s an important institution in our community of North Adams and the creative community more broadly,” Elliott said. A local documentary 'Museum Town' takes an in-depth look at how the old mill town of North Adams in the Berkshires got an infusion of new creative energy and economic activity through the creation of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, known by many as MASS MoCA. The release from UAW Local 2110 also quoted Maro Elliott, manager of institutional giving at the museum. Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA), 1040 Mass MoCA Way, North Adams MIT Museum, Gambrill Center, 314 Main St., Cambridge Museum of Fine Arts, 465 Huntington Ave. Together we can start to fix these problems.”Ī spokesperson for Mass MoCA said the institution would provide a comment on the workers’ push to unionize by the end of Monday. “Unionizing is the best way to move forward on equal footing with leadership and start to rebuild trust and reorganize priorities in the face of the very real, systemic issues that the Covid-19 pandemic and this summer’s uprisings for racial justice have exposed. “The mass layoffs were isolating and confusing, and were made with no regard to the staff’s experience and history with the institution,” Tobin continued. Some of the staff who were laid off last spring were rehired by the museum after it received a federal Paycheck Protection Program loan, while other long-term employees were not, according to the release.
