The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, announced today that it is reducing its staff by 20 percent as well as cutting operating expenses, reports the Los Angeles Times’s Diane Haithman. The plan is to reduce expenses by approximately $4.4 million a year. The cuts will result in the elimination of thirty-two jobs—sixteen full-time and sixteen part-time—across all museum departments. A statement from the museum says the departments of marketing and programming will be most affected. MoCA's chief executive officer, Charles E. Young, said in the statement: “It is my responsibility to lay a new foundation for the museum’s long-term financial stability based on efficient and accurate financial management. In addition to making these vital cuts today, we are committed to supporting MoCA’s ongoing and aggressive fund-raising and to the recruitment of new and dedicated MoCA trustees so we can together continue the exceptional mission of MoCA.”
