9、ing the disconnection between art and the audience buthavent yet determined how to bridge the gap.Two answers to tackling this challenge lie in telling a greaterdiversity of art histories and communicating these stories in more accessible ways.In 2018,a radio program called Art Matters was started w
10、ith the aim of discussing art from a pop-cultureviewpoint with topics that would engage younger and more diverse audience.It offers an accessible pathway toart history with conversations on different topics.Art history is about storytelling;art content shines when there isan effort to bring audience
11、 along for the discussion.More traditional institutions are paying attention.Recently theGettyMuseumissued a social-media challengefor people to recreate paintings using items they had at home.Users displayed incredible creativity,and themuseum was flooded with submissions.This reaction proves that
12、there is a potential desire for the audience toengage with art topics if the format is appealing.Since many people feelintimidatedand think that theres a baselevel of understanding required to join the conversation,the Getty initiative serves as a reminder that there aremany pathways to engaging wit
