Chicago art directors and curators discuss working in a pandemic and what they imagine for the future.
"I'm excited about the ways in which curators, museum education/engagement staff, and exhibition designers are working together to center community engagement, thoughtful program development, and visitor experience. This way of working emphasizes that the connections made and conversations and actions that take place before and after an exhibition is on view are as important as the presentation of the exhibition itself and the programming that accompanies it." - Janet Dees

Congratulations to alum Laura-Caroline de Lara for being named director of the DePaul Art Museum! In her previous role as interim director, de Lara helped launch DePaul Art Museum’s Latinx initiative, which included last spring’s “LatinXAmerican” exhibition and the addition of 26 new artworks by Latinx artists to the museum’s permanent collection.
Today we honor the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This 2002 portrait by John Wilson, part of a 2014 exhibition by the DePaul Art Museum, is based on Wilson's 1986 memorial statue of Dr. King housed in the United States Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C.
