This one-day content-filled conference of detailed yet fast-paced panel discussions is designed to address the most provocative and dynamic topics crucial to the decision-making process and fabric of today’s curatorial sphere. Filled with tips on how to push the boundaries of the conventional museum gate, strengthen an institution’s status both locally and nationally, and increase vital funding. Each panel discussion confronts the art world with fresh ideas, hard-won advice, and exclusive insight.

The first of its kind to explore the synergies and networking advantages of pairing an international fine art fair with a national art museum curator conference, this groundbreaking forum re-evaluates the responsibility of a curator in the 21st century eager to push the field forward.

How to Recognize Diverse Artist Quality and Ways to Focus on Their Inclusion

Curators of both solo and thematic exhibitions across the nation have increasingly included artists of color and of other cultures. Who is largely credited with introducing such discoveries? Is it the museum curator or the gallerist? Hear curators discuss diversity and how they balance their passion and perception with an objective assessment of an artist’s significance and innovation on the historical timeline. Learn about those emerging artists, groups, and movements poised for discovery and national recognition. How do curators find these overlooked and minority artists? Moreover, considering the demands of our complex contemporary multicultural and multiracial society, what inspires a curator to commit to artists or groups?
