A collective of staff at Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago demanding accountability and action to uproot white supremacy and racial injustice at the MCA.
July 16, 2020
To Madeleine Grynsztejn, Pritzker Director at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago,
We write to you publicly out of concern for the lack of meaningful action and accountability in the MCA’s practices to uproot white supremacy and end racial injustice within the institution. This concern follows an ongoing series of calls from full- and part-time staff, the Teen Creative Agency, artists, volunteers, and the public to address the racism ingrained in the MCA’s business and labor practices.[1] The MCA relies heavily on its public image as a diverse community hub and has released PR statements standing “in solidarity with Black communities and protesters in denouncing racial injustice.” [2] However, recent actions taken—and not taken—by leadership have made clear that the MCA’s stated “solidarity” and promises toward the ongoing work of addressing racial inequality are self-serving acts of performative allyship rather than a commitment to meaningful change.
Most urgently, we write to you out of concern for the MCA’s “friends and family” opening on July 17, and public reopening on July 24. We feel it is dangerous, irresponsible, ableist, and racist to reopen the museum to the public in the midst of increasing COVID-19 cases, with only surface-level regard for the health and safety of front-facing staff in light of the ongoing pandemic. Many of the BIPOC people employed by the MCA work in part-time and front-facing roles in departments like Visitor Experience (VE), Retail Experience (RE), and Facilities—as well as employees in Housekeeping contracted from BMS Janitorial Services, Security contracted from Securitas, and employees in the Marisol restaurant managed privately by Culinare. The COVID-19 pandemic has hit Black, Indigenous, and Latinx communities the hardest, both locally and nationally—a racist outcome effectuated by policies exactly like those the MCA is practicing. With the reopening, it is precisely these workers, in these predominantly BIPOC departments, who will be required to work on-site in public-facing roles in order to financially support themselves, while full-time and part-time workers in other departments continue to be encouraged to work safely from home, including the museum’s largely white “leadership.” This is significantly more cruel considering the MCA bars part-time workers from company healthcare benefits and offers them no paid time off beyond government-mandated accrued Cook County Earned Sick Leave. Additionally, many of these front-facing staff have long commutes via public transit from the city’s South and West sides, geographic areas and modes of transportation heavily affected by COVID-19. Effectively forcing these staff to work on-site in visitor-facing roles risks their own further exposure, the health and safety of their neighbors in predominantly Black and Brown communities, and that of museum visitors. For the MCA to reopen without first doing significant internal work to address and rectify racial inequities and uproot white supremacy within the institution demonstrates a lack of true commitment to the MCA’s anti-racist promises—and also a deep lack of understanding about what racism is.
The MCA has asked how we feel about returning, but leadership continues to not listen. Staff recently voiced fears about the reopening in surveys, meetings, and other private and direct communications: 50% of MCA staff who responded to HR’s Re-Entry Survey said they were not comfortable returning to work, with another 13% expressing uncertainty. [3] Why was this survey created if our collective concern about safety was to be completely dismissed?
VE workers asked to be furloughed or temporarily laid off until they felt safe returning to work, and their requests were denied. Managers threatened that if VE workers did not attend reopening trainings (or provide communication about why they could not attend 24 hours before a training), the museum would consider it a “voluntary resignation”—a coercive move making these workers ineligible to receive unemployment benefits in a time when those benefits would amount to a greater and more consistent form of income than the MCA is willing to provide. The MCA received a loan in April as part of the COVID-19 stimulus Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which in part enabled them to continue paying part-time workers a capped number of hours through June 30, the end of their fiscal year. We speculate that if they were to lay off employees, the MCA could risk reducing the amount of the PPP loan that may be forgiven.[4] Now, in the new fiscal year, the MCA is betraying part-time employees by asking them to travel in dangerous conditions to work sparse hours without hazard pay, and without health benefits should they contract COVID-19. Leadership states that the decision to reopen is not a financially motivated one, but is instead mission-driven. Despite all the work put into making contemporary art and programming accessible virtually over the past several months, they have decided in-person access to artworks is more imperative to their mission than the health and safety of employees and by extension the museum’s visitors. We are left wondering: What are Black lives worth to the MCA?
There is remote work that can be done that is reflective of part-time staff’s myriad talents. As one small example, during the museum’s closure, VE and RE staff have contributed thousands of new image descriptions to the MCA’s Coyote artwork description database and have transcribed audio from dozens of documented MCA events—both important and previously unprioritized efforts to make the MCA’s artworks and programs more accessible to all.
While the MCA boasts internally that layoffs were avoided, it is evident in other ways that the institution views its VE and other part-time staff as expendable, worth sacrificing for the sake of generating revenue and retaining “relevance.” As the museum moves forward with its reopening plan, part-time VE workers are being scheduled for even more precarious and inconsistent hours, ranging from 4 to 16 hours a week, at just $15 per hour—a wage that VE workers had been fighting for for several years and only just won last summer. [5] Prior to summer 2019, the MCA paid part-time VE workers, as well as some part-time and full-time temporary employees in other departments, in the range of $12–$14.50 per hour. We cannot possibly subsist off of these wages, much less thrive. The MCA positions itself as a progressive institution, championing “inclusion, diversity, equity, and access,” but this translates to mere lip service for their employees in the absence of financially sustainable employment.
When asked if the MCA would consider providing hazard pay for hours worked on-site, leadership responded with a “no.” They stated that since they had not been paying “essential operations employees” hazard pay for work on-site from March to the present (egregious in its own right), they could not implement hazard pay for front-facing staff now without having to back-pay those employees. When asked if the MCA would offer transportation assistance, such as free ride-shares or free parking to front-facing employees, leadership stated they were not responsible for employees outside of work hours, including how employees get to work. According to the MCA’s “COVID-19 Employee Responsibilities Policy,” employees are required to disclose any potential exposure to COVID-19 to Human Resources and are not permitted to come to work (and thus not guaranteed pay) for an unspecified amount of time after potential exposure until authorized to do so by Human Resources. Employees are deemed responsible to the institution for their activities outside of work, but the MCA is not responsible to its employees.
Part-time, front-facing staff make all other work at the museum possible—in fact, the museum cannot be opened to the public without these essential workers! Yet their expertise, knowledge, and personal wellbeing are evidently deemed disposable by leadership. As the literal faces of the MCA to the public, BIPOC part-time staff are both implicitly and explicitly tokenized and exploited as representatives of the museum’s diversity, called upon to educate the salaried white museum leadership while being siloed into the lowest paying and least sustainable jobs. How can the MCA claim to be working toward anti-racism and equity while these remain its employment practices?
In light of these offenses and inequities, we demand that the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago immediately make the changes outlined below.
We demand the MCA remain closed to the public in light of the continued risks to staff and visitors posed by the increasing COVID-19 case rate.
We demand that no workers are coerced into returning before they are ready or forced out through “voluntary resignation.”
We demand that any workers who have already been forced into “voluntary resignation” be offered their job back, with the additional offer of paid remote work.
We demand public transparency in the form of demographically specific (but personally de-identified) data reflecting anyone who has been or is laid off, forced into “voluntary resignation,” or actually voluntarily resigns because of concerns around re-opening.
We demand that the MCA reopen only when current front-facing staff unanimously feel safe returning to work on-site, and are then financially supported should their roles at the MCA result in illness or hospitalization.
Until that time, we demand the MCA continue to pay part-time workers at a guaranteed pay of $300 per week of remote work. We demand that this work directly address enhanced accessibility to a broader Chicago community. These accessibility projects, in line with the museum’s strategic plan, include video transcription and Coyote, an open-source image description project for which front-facing staff have written thousands of descriptions while working remotely.
We demand a commitment to the above terms (1–3) by 12:00 pm Central Friday, July 24, 2020.
Further, we demand the MCA continue to work long term on internally addressing and rectifying racial inequities and uprooting white supremacy at all levels. Specifically:
In the next 3 months (October 31, 2020),
We demand hourly pay at current Chicago minimum wage for TCA members and all interns.
We demand that all-staff meetings and town halls be places for meaningful dialogue and that a transformative justice mediator be hired for all-staff meetings. This mediator should be vetted and hired by the members of the Anti-Racism Core Team.
We demand that, in an effort to redistribute resources to BIPOC communities, the MCA immediately and indefinitely make its virtual platforms (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, website, MCA Blog, Commons Online, etc.) regularly available for “take-overs” by BIPOC staff, BIPOC artists, and Chicago-based, BIPOC-led community organizations to promote fundraisers and upcoming events, host conversations, and shout out their own work and platforms.
We demand transparency and accountability in the form of monthly reporting to the public and to all levels of staff about how—and when—demands will be met.
In the next 6 months (January 31, 2021),
We demand institution-wide pay transparency in the form of a report showing the pay of staff at all levels.
We demand a plan outlining more equitable hiring practices.
In addition to the recently formed Anti-Racism Core Team made up of representatives from each department, we demand all current MCA employees and Board Members receive yearly anti-racism training and that such training be required as part of onboarding for all future employees and contractors.
By the end of this fiscal year (June 30, 2021),
We demand that current BIPOC employees be prioritized in the hiring of currently unfilled positions at the museum and the prioritizing of BIPOC candidates for all future hires in positions of leadership.
We demand allotment of a percentage of the rentals budget for gratis use of the MCA building by Chicago BIPOC organizations hosting fundraisers and events once the museum reopens with the unanimous approval of front-facing staff.
We demand sustainable employment, health benefits, paid time off, and livable, equitable salaries/wages for all employees, including part-time and temporary staff and TCA members. We demand a commitment to restructuring pay scales more equitably between associates, coordinators/assistants, managers, directors, department heads, and executives.
We demand that the MCA commit to the above demands (4–13) by providing a concrete plan and timeline, including public accountability measures, by Friday, July 31, 2020.
These are not our only issues with the MCA, only the most time-sensitive ones.
In reading this letter, you may ask why we want to work at the MCA at all, given these conditions. Sometimes we ask ourselves the same thing. But the MCA is not yours, as director—it is all of ours as workers; it belongs to the public; it belongs to the artists, including numerous BIPOC artists, without whose ground-breaking, visionary, and radical work the institution could not exist and could not endeavor to be relevant. We are writing this letter because we care—about ourselves and each other, about future employees of the MCA, about the health and safety of the broader public, about dismantling white supremacy in all of its manifestations. And we are writing this letter because we need to financially support ourselves, because we have partners and families to feed and shelter, communities to care for, and because we deserve conditions to thrive. We are writing this letter because our presence, contribution, expertise, lives, and communities are of value. We deserve to have institutions that work for all of us moving forward—especially for those of us who are Black, Indigenous, and people of color. If institutions worked for some of us in the past, it was only at the expense of not working for and/or exploiting others. We demand that the MCA live up to its own stated values: not only in words, but in action and accountable deeds.
We make these demands in recognition of, gratitude to, and solidarity with the countless other arts and cultural workers across the country who have long been working to dismantle white supremacy and to repair harms caused by racial injustice in their own institutions, and all those workers still to come who will expand and continue this work. We credit the Teen Creative Agency, DismantleNOMA, No Neutral Alliance, and SAIC Solidarity, among others, for inspiration in putting forth these demands. Our demands of the MCA are an echo of the real and necessary change being demanded across the arts and culture, nonprofit, and museum industries globally, as well as in other industries. We invite colleagues, artists, members, and the greater Chicago community to join us in this stand and help us build toward a museum that is truly equitable and just on all levels, for all employees, artists, and visitors.

[1] On June 2, 2020, members of Staff sent an internal letter to the Pritzker Director and MCA Leadership asking for transparency around and a divestment from the MCA’s relationship to the Chicago Police Department (CPD), especially the 18th District CPD Station, in response to two previous monetary contributions made in the name of the MCA in 2018 and 2019. MCA leadership claimed that though the payments were made in the name of the MCA, they were not made using MCA funds but leadership has yet to clarify the exact details of the payments. Also on June 2, members of the MCA’s Teen Creative Agency released a public statement and accompanying petition on their Instagram demanding the same transparency and divestment from CPD, as well as calling the MCA to reassess their internal security practices, and take accountability for other racist and ageist practices. The full statement can be found at https://www.instagram.com/tcaatmca.[2] See the MCA’s complete public statement here: https://mcachicago.org/About [3] MCA staff were asked on June 22 to respond to this “Re-Entry Survey” on or before June 26; partial results were sent to staff on July 2.[4] See sections 1106(d)(2) and 1106(d)(5) of the CARES Act and Section III(5)(H) of Final Rule Document 2020-11536 published by the Department of the Treasury. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/06/01/2020-11536/business-loan-program-temporary-changes-paycheck-protection-program-requirements-loan-forgiveness [5] As a result of VE worker’s efforts last summer, $15 per hour was made the new institutional minimum wage for employees in all departments with the exception of the members of the Teen Creative Agency, who are yet to be recognized as staff (despite creating public programming that the MCA culturally and materially benefits from) and are paid a stipend that averages below the minimum hourly wage.So far, we have gathered 96 signatures.
