Faculty

Joshua Frye

Communication

Joshua Frye, Communication, and Rebekah Fox (Texas State University), recently published a co-authored article in Frontiers in Science and Environmental Communication. The article is a case-study of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and its satellite contemporary art space the Momentary, which partnered with the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank and over 30 additional partner organizations to pivot their existing outreach services. In this case study, we identify lessons learned that might be useful for other organizations who seek to foster meaningful engagement with the public, especially in times of crisis.
