UIMA Chief Curator Kathy Edwards, who has played a vital role in deciding which works from the UIMA's permanent collection will be installed in the UIMA@IMU for the coming semester, will share her insider's knowledge about the selection process.
Kathy has been the chief curator of the UIMA since 2008 and is an adjunct professor in the UI Department of Cinema and Comparative Literature. In 1998 she came to the Museum as the curator of prints, drawings, and photographs, and a few years later "new media" were added to her areas of responsibility. In 2004 she became curator of European and American art. Kathy's exhibitions have not only addressed the needs of UI faculty and students, through her management of guest-curated and curriculum-focused exhibitions, they have promoted hundreds of new acquisitions.
Prior to her arrival at the UI Kathy was the executive director of the Print Center in Philadelphia, a nonprofit organization that supports the work of artists using print media. She holds an MA from the University of the Arts (formerly Philadelphia College of Art) and a BA from Westhampton College, University of Richmond.
The Fall 2010 Elliott Society Lecture Series is sponsored by Robert A. Rasley
