This informal conversation will address issues of diversity and representation facing art exhibition and museum curatorial practice today. Potential aspects of these curatorial responsibilities to be discussed may include: museum policies and objectives; institutional mission and audience; decision-makers and stakeholders; and current training for and methods used by curators and their colleagues in pursuing acquisitions and conceiving exhibitions. Students, faculty and others are welcome to attend, and the final segment will solicit questions and comments from the audience.
