Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco to Close

News summary

The Contemporary Jewish Museum (CJM) in San Francisco will close its doors on December 15 for at least one year due to severe financial difficulties exacerbated by the pandemic, resulting in a staff reduction from 30 to 11. Executive Director Kerry King described the closure as a proactive measure to allow for necessary restructuring and reimagining of the museum's future. The museum aims to use this time to explore new programming and funding sources while emphasizing that its core values will remain intact. Despite the challenges, King noted that the CJM plays a vital role in the community and the decision is intended to ensure its long-term sustainability. Visitors can enjoy free access to current exhibitions until the closing date. The museum's ongoing financial struggles reflect broader trends affecting similar institutions post-COVID, highlighting the need for strategic adjustments.
