Join us tomorrow, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27 from 4-5 pm on Zoom (Zoom Meeting ID: 923 7145 3875) for a chat with Brittany Luberda (SMU Masters in Art History ‘13), Anne Stone Assistant Curator of Decorative Arts, Baltimore Museum of Art! What is it like to curate outside the museum? Or curating objects, like quilts and furniture, that some people don’t think of as “art”? Brittany Luberda (SMU ‘13) of the Baltimore Museum of Art will chat with us via Zoom about her career as a curator of decorative arts, both in traditional museums and in historic homes. In her current job, Ms. Luberda oversees a growing collection of approximately 8,000 objects and furniture from North America, Europe, and non-Indigenous South America, curating exhibitions such as “She Knew Where She Was Going: Gee’s Bend Quilts and Civil Rights”. Earlier in her career, Ms. Luberda worked as the Research Assistant in Decorative Arts and Design at the Saint Louis Art Museum, and as a department assistant in both Conservation and Decorative Arts at The Frick Collection in New York. She has additional curatorial experience at the Dallas Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Smart Museum of Art in Chicago. In addition to talking about her career path, Ms. Luberda will also discuss the different options for curatorial work, including whether or not you need to earn a PhD in order to be a curator.
