(CNN) Charles Venable resigned Wednesday as head of the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields after a racially insensitive job listing sought an art director who would maintain the museum's "traditional, core, white art audience." "We are ashamed of Newfields' leadership and of ourselves. We pledge to do better," Newfield's board of trustees wrote in a statement Wednesday. He had served as director of the IMA since 2012. Newfields said in the statement it will launch an independent committee to conduct a "thorough review" of its leadership and culture.
