On September 10, the Mead Art Museum at Amherst College opened its latest exhibition, Starting Something New: Recent Contemporary Acquisitions. To kick-off the night, we hosted a conversation on what it means to curate contemporary art. Tiffany Bradley, founder of Colored Criticism, a company for cultural heritage stories, moderated a panel of contemporary art curators, featuring David E. Little, John Wieland 1958 Director and Chief Curator of the Mead; Horace D. Ballard, curator of American art at the Williams College Museum of Art; and Emma Chubb, Charlotte Feng Ford ’83 Curator of Contemporary Art at the Smith College Museum of Art.
