Hi PAN,

Austin AIPP is beginning to plan for deaccession DURING the commissioning process to help our future PAN colleagues (lucky them)!  How will we sustainably and appropriately deaccession artworks?  Please tell me about any codified or uncodified deaccession plans in your programs?  What is your strategy on why and how to deaccession artwork? Who weighs in on these decisions?

· Dollar amount is too costly to repair

· Too many pieces broken or changed from original intent

· Aesthetically dated

· Topically offensive

· Community feedback

Thank you for your thoughts!

Marjorie
