PMA Reverts to Original Name After Branding Turmoil

After four months of turmoil sparked by its PhAM branding, the Philadelphia Museum of Art announced it is reverting to its original name while keeping the griffin logo; the reversal followed stakeholder surveys showing the new branding didn’t resonate, amid leadership shakeups including the firing of former CEO Sasha Suda and resignations, with Daniel Weiss brought in to stabilize the museum. The initial rebrand reportedly cost north of $1 million, with fixes around $50,000, as the institution focuses on public programs, exhibitions, and addressing a sustainable deficit on the historic campus.

Union Contract Dispute Rocks Philadelphia Museum

The Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMA) Union accuses the museum of reneging on a compensation provision in their contract. The provision, known as the "longevity pay increase," was meant to reward employees with incremental salary bumps for every five years of employment. However, the museum now claims that the provision only applies to employees whose anniversaries fall within the three-year lifespan of the contract, causing confusion and inequity. The union plans to take action, including pickets, rallies, and a petition, to pressure the museum to honor the agreed-upon terms.
