Ask a Curator

Ever wonder how best to approach a curator about a studio visit? A possible exhibition? Should you show up to the museum? Should you call first? Should you send on an email? Should the email have images? If the curator comes for visit, should you talk about the critical theories that influence the work or stick to the practical side of your practice? Should you put out cheddar or humus? Why does a museum work with one artist, when there are so many terrific artists closer to home?  How are those decisions made anyway? So mannnnny important questions! Join Sarah Higgins, Curator at the Zuckerman Museum of Art, and Daniel Fuller, Curator at Atlanta Contemporary, as they drink a couple glasses of bourbon and answer your questions about professional practices. We hope to in some part de-mystify our curatorial platforms and help artists better know the formats and guidelines we work with and towards.
