About the ArtTable Fellowship Program
Established in 2000, the ArtTable National Fellowship provides quality real work experiences and mentorship to women-identifying and non-binary emerging professionals from backgrounds generally underrepresented in the visual arts field. During the paid, five-to-eight-week summer program, the fellows will work closely with established leaders in the field to gain exposure to a range of professional activities at leading museums and arts organizations. They also receive one-on-one mentoring from leading professionals who are ArtTable members and are specialized in their areas of interest.

New York | A Day Upstate: Rita McBride at Dia Beacon | Mother Gallery, Garage Gallery, Analog Diary
2023-07-22 11:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | DIA Beacon, 3 Beekman Street, Beacon, NY, 12508
Join ArtTable members and guests for a day of art, walking, and networking during Upstate Art Weekend this July! It’s a perfect time to take a break from the city and connect with colleagues. Please note that this is a walking tour.

We’ll start the day at Dia Beacon, where Curator Alexis Lowry will guide us on a tour of “Rita McBride: Momentum.” McBride, renowned for her extensive body of work encompassing architecture, design, and public space, operates at the confluence of these disciplines. Her work predominantly revolves around creating expansive installations and large-scale works, and includes elements of performance, textual compositions, and smaller sculptural pieces. You’ll have a little time to explore other exhibits at Dia before joining the group on a shuttle to downtown Beacon.We’ll enjoy a delicious (Dutch treat) lunch at a Main Street restaurant. Just a few minutes away on foot, we’ll tour “Reclaimed,” at Garage Gallery with Co-Founder Susan Keiser. The exhibit features work by Laura Petrovich-Cheney, Jaynie Crimmins, and Rinat Goren. “‘Women’s work’ is such a loaded term—loaded with seemingly impossible to dislodge assumptions about who does what in this world and what it’s worth. Said dismissively, these two short words have the power to devalue the lives and work of half the population. Still. But said authoritatively, joyfully, hopefully, it can refer to the unheralded artists who have long woven and embroidered seemingly worthless scraps of everyday life into entirely new vocabularies of expression.”

Our next stop will be “Chromazones” at Analog Diary with Founding Partner Katharine Overgaard. “This show celebrates the myriad compositional, technical, and narrative possibilities achieved through color—painted, drawn, poured, and sculpted—and draws unexpected and generative through-lines between otherwise disparate artists and their works. Chromazones is fecund, life-affirming, and curious.” Featuring artists Latifa Alajlan, Polly Apfelbaum, Michael Berryhill, Eugene von Bruenchenhein, Julia Chiang, Martha Clippinger, Holly Coulis, Pam Glick, Tamara Gonzales, Clare Grill, Alteronce Gumby, Marcia Hafif, EJ Hauser, Andrew Masullo, John McAllister, Dan Miller, Ron Nagle, Ken Price, Julia Rommel, Sylvia Snowden, Emma Soucek, Tracy Thomason, Yukine Yanagi, and Kennedy Yanko.To finish the day, we’ll join Founder Paola Oxoa at MOTHER Gallery for “I AM THE PASSENGER Pt II” featuring artists Lisa Beck, Trudy Benson, Seth Cameron, Mariah Dekkenga, Stacy Fisher, Rico Gatson, Russell Tyler, and Susan Weil. I AM THE PASSENGER is an intergenerational group exhibition of non-objective painting, in two parts—acting as a looking glass for perceiving our current moment in time and place within the lineage of non-objective painting. We relate to non-objective painting in both corporeal and immaterial ways. Non-objective painting wants to stir something. Non-objective painting connects with our bodies. Severe yet playful, non-objective painting is evidence of the artist operating within a greater movement of creation. We bear witness to the journey of artist as passenger when we stand in view of non-objective painting. Non-objective painting is about feeling and perceiving in the body, it’s personal, it’s universal. Organized by Trudy Benson, Paola Oxoa, and Russell Tyler. Stay and socialize at the Upstate Art Weekend reception at MOTHER, explore on your own in downtown Beacon, or wrap up the day!

If you plan to make a night (or weekend) of it, Upstate Art Weekend has so much to offer. The fourth edition of UPSTATE ART WEEKEND, July 21-24, 2023, includes 130+ participants located in Columbia, Delaware, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester counties. Visit upstateartweekend.org for details.

Oxoa earned a BFA in experimental animation from Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design (Lakewood, CO). Working across media—themes of interconnectedness and transcendence permeate her work. Solo exhibitions include What the Thunder Said at Matteawan Gallery (Beacon, NY), Round Tripper at Stay Gallery (Denver, CO), The Mirror of Reason (2005) and TRUE LOVE (2004) at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, where she was awarded a residency and named the #1 NEW PICK (2004-5).

Susan Keiser is a fine-art photographer and the cofounder of Garage Gallery, a contemporary fine arts gallery in Beacon, NY, exhibiting significant bodies of work by emerging and mid-career artists in a wide range of media. “Art needs space in the real world—a home in the heart of the community that’s larger than a studio but less rarified than a global gallery showroom. Artists need a place where they can find their audience without economic pressure—a point of entry between a phone app and a collector’s wall. Collectors need an environment that is welcoming and invites discovery, where they can always find a treasure to take home with them.”

Keiser’s photographic and curatorial work reflects her long experience in publishing, the arts, and horticulture. As Senior Editor at Oxford University Press she was responsible for establishing their academic and scholarly journals program in the United States, acquiring titles in fields ranging from cultural studies to financial economics and fine art to neuroscience.Deeply involved in gardening and the natural world, she was Manager of the Rock and Native Plant Gardens at The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, NY; Associate Director of the Garden Conservancy, Garrison, NY; and founder and principal of Greystone Gardens, Inc., a design-build firm working with private and corporate clients. Her gardens have been featured in the New York Times and Garden Design magazine, as well as in Japanese and German publications.

As an artist she has always been concerned with building large structures out of small units, entire worlds out of miniature elements. The recipient of an NEA grant she created site-specific installations commissioned by public and private institutions, including the Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee, WI; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN; Rockefeller Center, New York, NY; and the International Design Conference in Aspen, CO. Keiser attended Pomona College and holds a BFA in painting from The Cooper Union and a diploma from The New York Botanical Garden School of Professional Horticulture.

Katharine Overgaard is a Founding Partner at Analog Diary (Beacon), and Director at Franklin Parrasch Gallery (New York). Her expertise lies in art writing and research, gallery and artist strategy, and collector and institutional relations. In spring 2022, she co-founded Analog Diary with fellow veteran art dealers Derek Eller, Abby Messitte, and Franklin Parrasch.

Analog Diary organizes exhibitions which reimagine what a gallery can show by collapsing boundaries and arbitrarily assigned categories. Analog Diary is a space where thinking about art without the mind clutter of an Instagrammable frame of reference is possible. Analog Diary is a Member of the New Art Dealers Alliance.

Overgaard has been an ArtTable member since 2022, was born and raised in Western Massachusetts’ Pioneer Valley. She earned a dual major B.A. in Studio Art and Art History from Drew University (Madison, NJ) and lives in Upper Manhattan.

Join ArtTable for a tour of “for the sake of dancing in the street”—a group exhibition celebrating the interconnectedness of feminist and queer resistance in person at OXY ARTS Los Angeles. The exhibition features works by performance collaborative LASTESIS, Morehshin Allahyari, and Yasmine Nasser Diaz, in conversation with works by poet Ava Ansari and the Geochicas network, and documentation of resistance movements compiled by Caitlin Abadir-Mullally and Raja Bella Hicks. An original print by Entangled Roots Press is featured in the gallery space and available as a takeaway. Yasmine Nasser Diaz will speak about the exhibition.

Meldia Yesayan. Meldia is the Director of OXY ARTS, the multidisciplinary arts programming initiative at Occidental College. She oversees all aspects of the programming and development of OXY ARTS, including organizing all exhibitions and programs at the OXY ARTS center, facilitating visiting artist residencies such as the Wanlass Artist-in-Residence program, initiating cross-departmental and interdisciplinary collaborations, creating opportunities for student-curated events, and engaging the Occidental community in socially conscious discourse with contemporary arts practices. She is also responsible for developing meaningful and sustained relationships with the Los Angeles area arts communities, including partnerships with local arts agencies, artists and institutions.

Yasmine Nasser Diaz is a visual artist whose work frequently occupies the domestic sphere to explore the boundaries of cultural identity. Staging familial memories in nostalgic recreations of home, her work nods to both tradition and technological change and is often deftly punctured by powerful feminist and social critique. Using a variety of media from collage and fiber etching to video and immersive installation, she mines personal archives to probe the nuances of third-culture identity, often drawing upon the frictions experienced between the individual and the collective.

Yasmine’s work was recently featured at the Getty Center and is included in the collections of LACMA, UCLA, and the Arab American National Museum. She is the recipient of the Harpo Visual Artists Grant, the California Community Foundation Visual Artist Fellowship, and the University of Michigan Efroymson Visiting Artist Residency in Ann Arbor, MI. Yasmine lives and works in Los Angeles.

Frankie Fleming oversees education and community programming at OXY ARTS. She works with students, community partners, and faculty on collaborations with the surrounding community, including running the Community Studio K-12 after school art program, organizing workshops, field trips and community events. Before joining OXY ARTS in 2019, Frankie was the Director of Education at Center for the Arts Eagle Rock and a Teaching Artist at Southern Exposure. She brings her experience in art education to OXY ARTS’ LAUSD after school art program and internship program, which launched in 2021.

This presentation follows those organized by Lévy Gorvy in New York (2015) and London (2016), continuing a long-standing relationship with the artist’s estate. Lines in Space coincides with a major retrospective of the artist’s work on view at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (March–September 2023), which traveled from Museo Jumex in Mexico City (October 2022–February 2023), and the Museu de Arte de Sao Paulo (2019–20), and will continue on to the Guggenheim Bilbao (October 2023–February 2024).

Join us for a special behind-the-scenes tour of the critically-acclaimed exhibition “If You Look Hard Enough, You Can See Our Future: Selections from the Nando’s Art Collection.” Curated by Laurie Ann Farrell, this exhibition at the African American Museum of Dallas features some of the most notable South African artists including Zanele Muholi, Claudette Schreuders, Kagiso Patrick Mautloa, Igshaan Adams, Stephen Hobbs, Vivien Kohler, Anastasia Pather, Penny Siopis, William Kentridge, and Samson Mnisi. After the tour, we’ll enjoy Spier South African wines—courtesy of Nando’s—discuss, and network.The exhibition brings together paintings, works on paper, sculptures, and photography as visual documentation of forgotten images and histories. These works were all created in South Africa between 1948 and 2020, and while they are bound by a specific time and place, they chronicle universal issues that touch us all: love, loss, and hope for a better future.

The African American Museum, Dallas was founded in 1974 as a part of Bishop College. The Museum has operated independently since 1979. For more than 40 years, the African American Museum has stood as a cultural beacon in Dallas and the Southwestern United States.

New York, NY | Gallery Tuesdays | Ruby Rumié "Us, 172 Years Later”
2023-06-13 17:00 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | Nohra Haime Gallery, 500A West 21st Street, New York, 10011
Join ArtTable and Nohra Haime for a tour of “Us, 172 Years Later” by Ruby Rumié at the Nohra Haime Gallery. The project is based on the 19th Century Chorographic Commission in Colombia that includes the inhabitants of the Caribbean coast which were missing in the original scientific study. Rumié puts together one hundred people from the Caribbean region whose unique characteristics share the passion and commitment for their trade, and express in a special way their taste and the value they place on the food from this region, as food is one of the most relevant cultural elements. Rumié inserts the women as a type who were not included in the original Commission due to gender and race.

Born in Cartagena de Indias, Rumié studied painting, drawing and sculpture at the Cartagena School of Fine Arts (1980-1982). From 1989 to 1996 she worked on hyperrealist painting. She then broke away from academia and pursued her work with a clear focus on social issues, both territorial and on patrimony, questioning her commitment as an artist to society. She has held important exhibitions in Colombia, Chile, the United States and France. She exhibited Hálito Divino (Divine Breath) and Tejiendo calles (Weaving Streets) at the Nohra Haime Gallery in New York and at NH Galería in Cartagena, Colombia. She participated in Art Paris and in the first Biennial of Contemporary Art of Cartagena de Indias with her work Lugar común (Common Place). She was awarded the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center fellowship and Women Together from the United Nations (UN) for her anthropological, social and artistic works. Special thanks to Julia P. Herzberg, PhD.

SOLD OUT | ArtTable Tours | France: The Magic of Paris and Provence
2023-06-11 00:00 - 2023-06-19 23:59 (America/New_York) | California
There is no question that the art scene in France is alive and kicking its heels. The impact of Brexit has brought new and exciting art spaces across France that more than merit a taste of as the French would say a “soupçon” of the contemporary art scene in France.

ArtTable’s tour will begin in Paris and then we head south to Provence where we will visit museums, alternative spaces, galleries, artists’ studios, and private collections. France has been the inspiration to artists that have given birth to some of the most important artistic movements and their legacy has laid the foundation for artists for generations.

Highlights of The Itinerary

Paris

We could spend the entire time of the tour in Paris yet over the course of our 3 days in this magical city, we plan to get into the flow filled with contemporary art set within extraordinary settings. We will talk with gallerists, artists, curators, and collectors as we visit sites like La Bourse de Commerce or the Fondation Louis Vuitton or alternative art spaces like the recently formed Fiminco. Each day we will have time to enjoy the cuisine of Paris and reflect on our shared experiences.

Avignon

This wonderful walled city along the Rhone will be our first stop as we head south. While it is known for its famous Palais des Popes, there is also a burgeoning art scene which includes the collection of noted gallerist and collector, Yvon Lambert. We will have a tour of newly installed works from his collection. Our day will end with an evening stay at a chateau in the countryside which will provide closer access to a truly unique visit to Anslem Kiefer’s vast studio complex La Ribaute, a 40-hectare site with more than 70 installations by Kiefer along with the exhibition of works by guest artists.

Arles

Arles is a magical town and is one of the most lovely examples of life in Provence spanning the footprints of centuries of cultures. The presence of artists is legendary with Vincent Van Gogh having spent three of his most productive years here. His spirit has attracted many contemporary artists and is the home to one of the significant cultural destinations outside of Paris, LUMA. Created by the efforts of philanthropist Maja Hoffman, LUMA was created on the site of former railyards with many service barns being transported into exhibition spaces with the site being topped by a tower designed by Frank Gehry. Our hotel in Arles will be L’Arlatan, which was designed by the artist Jorge Pardo. Beyond Arles we will venture to Chateau La Coste roaming the hills dotted with large scale sculptures by some of the most important artists working today.

Suzanne Randolph, Tour Curator

The ArtTable tour to Paris and Provence will be curated by The ALIX Experience, a firm that connects women through luxury tours focused on cultural experiences. ALIX was created by Suzanne Randolph, an ArtTable member and established fine art advisor with Suzanne Randolph Fine Arts. Suzanne created ALIX as she traveled internationally on her own to keep abreast of the contemporary art market. As a solo woman traveler she realized that many women like herself could benefit from gathering together to share experience and lessen moments of loneliness as one travels for business and for leisure.

Suzanne loves France and looks forward to meeting ArtTable’s travelers!

WHAT SURVIVES IN THE ARCHIVE OF INDENTURE? | Group ExhibitionNAZRINA RODJAN – NICHOLAS DORNELLAS – SARAH ROHANI DREPAULSHARIFA KHAN – VANESSA GODDENTWELVE GATES ARTS, 106 NORTH SECOND ST. PHILADELPHIA, PA 19106
Twelve Gates Arts invited curator Suzanne Persard for a group show of women and nonbinary artists. What survives in the archive of indenture? Remnants of Another investigates the traces of memory among artists of Indo-Caribbean and indentured Indian descent from Suriname, Trinidad, and Guyana. Juxtaposing historical and family archives alongside photography and film, these multidisciplinary artists rework temporalities of diaspora and self to create a new visual archive of genealogy. Remnants of Another traverses the contours of memory among indentured descendants, refracting the violence of the colonial archive through queer and feminist re-imaginings of ancestral selves, kinship and diaspora.

REKINDLED PROMISE | Group ExhibitionCHELSEA KAIAH – MELISSA LEANDRO – CHAU NGUYENBRIAN SINGER – TANEKEYA WORDPENTIMENTI GALLERY, 145 NORTH SECOND ST. Philadelphia, PA 19106
Pentimenti Gallery invited five artists, four of them women, who draw inspiration from the challenges we face while living in America today. The selected artworks were created through the lenses of artists of different backgrounds and different concerns, such as climate change, immigration, material culture, and America’s complex past. These cultural critiques aim to turn a mirror on what modern America is versus what it purports itself to be.

1:00 pm – 3:00 pm “Rising Sun”

* WAITING LIST * New York, NY | Curator-Led Tour of Cecily Brown "Death and the Maid" at the Met
2023-06-07 10:00 - 11:30 (America/New_York) | The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York, 10028
Join ArtTable for an exclusive curator-led tour of “Death and the Maid” at The Metropolitan Museum of Art; we’ll have access when the museum is closed to the public! For more than twenty-five years, Cecily Brown (b. 1969) has transfixed viewers with sumptuous color, bravura brushwork, and complex narratives that relate to some of Western art history’s grandest and oldest themes. After moving to New York from London in the 1990s, she revived painting for a new generation alongside a handful of other artists—many of them also women—at the very moment critics were questioning its import and relevance. The first full-fledged museum survey of Brown’s work in New York since she made the city her home, “Cecily Brown: Death and the Maid” assembles a select group of some fifty paintings, drawings, sketchbooks, and monotypes from across her career to explore the intertwined themes of still life, memento mori, mirroring, and vanitas—symbolic depictions of human vanity or life’s brevity—that have propelled her dynamic and impactful practice for decades. The tour will be led by by the Aaron I. Fleischman Curator, Modern and Contemporary Art, Ian Alteveer.

Brown has work in public collections including The MoMA, The Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; The Broad, Los Angeles; Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt, Germany; The Tate, London, UK; and Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk, Denmark.

New York, NY | Gallery Tuesdays | Tour of "Robin Coste Lewis: Intimacy"
2023-06-06 17:30 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Marion Goodman Gallery, 24 W 57th St, New York, NY, 10019
Join ArtTable at the Marian Goodman Gallery for a bespoke viewing of Intimacy, a moving-image and sound film by Robin Coste Lewis. We’ll meet Marian Goodman Gallery Managing Partner Emily-Jane Kirwan at 5:30 pm for a talk—and enjoy a glass of wine, courtesy of the gallery—and start the film at 6 pm.

A single-channel video projection with sound, the installation features projected images from a selection of 66 photographs representing a modern 20th-Century photographic archive depicting the Lewis family and their friends. The trove of portraits, discovered by Lewis approximately 25 years ago in the home of her maternal grandmother, Dorothy Mary Coste Thomas Brooks, are sepia, tintypes, color and black-and-white pictures that recount the history of the Lewis family and circle.

The Lewis family, along with millions of other Americans, fled the Southern States of America in the 20th Century as part of the Great Migration west, in search of a place devoid of racism, injustice, and white terrorism. With the upheaval of forced migration, and concomitant scattering of a family unit and dispersal of possessions, the existence of this deep collection of photographic images represents a distinctive vernacular collection, especially notable for its volume, rarity and joyful, private sentiment.

New York, NY | Tour of Martine Gutierrez "ANTI-ICON: APOKALYPSIS" at Ryan Lee Gallery
2023-06-01 18:00 - 19:30 (America/New_York) | Ryan Lee Gallery, 515 W 26th St floor 3, New York, New York, 10001, United States
Join ArtTable to ring in pride month as we visit Ryan Lee Gallery for a guided tour of ANTI-ICON: APOKALYPSIS, a daring new body of work by artist Martine Gutierrez. Our tour guide will be Partner and gallery Co-Founder Mary Lee.

The series continues Guiterrez’s exploration of identity across the cultural landscapes of gender, race and celebrity. In 17 new works, Gutierrez has transformed herself into a multitude of idols. Costumed by the barest of essentials, Gutierrez’s figure is the catalyst, reflecting dystopian futurism upon the symbols of our past. Through each metamorphosis, Gutierrez re-envisions a diverse canon of radical heroines who have achieved legendary cultural influence over thousands of years in both art history and pop culture.

Image: Martine Gutierrez. Cleopatra from ANTI-ICON: APOKALYPSIS, 2021.

Founded in 2013 by Mary Ryan and Jeffrey Lee, RYAN LEE gallery has established itself as a welcoming place of discovery and dialogue for art ranging from post-war art to the contemporary. Celebrating emerging and established artists and estates, the gallery takes a multi-generational approach to its programming, presenting innovative and scholarly exhibitions across all spectrums of art practices, including painting, photography, video, sculpture, and performance. The gallery takes chances on a wide variety of boundary-pushing artists; their work consistently transcends political, cultural, material, or technical boundaries. In addition, RYAN LEE has, throughout its history, demonstrated its long-standing interest and dedication to feminist, Black and Asian American, as well as queer narratives in the twentieth and twenty first centuries. The gallery is led by partners of different generations and backgrounds with over six decades of combined experiences informing its unique approach.

Martine Gutierrez (b. 1989 Berkeley, CA) is a transdisciplinary artist, performing, writing, composing and directing narrative scenes to subvert pop-culture identity tropes—both personally and collectively intersectional to the discriminations of race, gender, class and nationality. Guiterrez examines advertising in order to hybridize the industry’s objectification of sex with the individual’s pursuit of self, satirically undermining the aesthetics of what we know. It is Gutierrez herself who executes every role—simultaneously acting as subject, artist, and muse. These complicated intersections are innate to Gutierrez’s own multicultural upbringing as a first generation artist of indigenous descent and as an LGBTQ ally. Her malleable, ever-evolving self-image catalogs the confluence of seemingly disparate modes, conveying limitless potential for reinvention and reinterpretation.

New York, NY | Gallery Tuesday | Marilyn Minter at LGDR with Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn
2023-05-30 17:30 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | LGDR Gallery, 3 East 89th Street, New York, New York, 10128
Join us for a tour of Marilyn Minter’s newest exhibition led by curator and LGDR Gallery partner Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn. Spanning three floors and six gallery spaces, this ambitious show is Minter’s first solo exhibition in New York since her celebrated retrospective Pretty/Dirty at the Brooklyn Museum in 2016–17.

It introduces several new bodies of work, including portraiture, and highlights Minter’s daring fifty-year exploration of beauty, representation, autonomy, and desire through a feminist, sex-positive perspective. A jaw-dropping display of jewel-toned paintings comingle with sculpture, video, photographs, and prints.

Minter approaches some of her now familiar themes with a critical, fresh eye and fearlessly tackles the art-historical canon by reinterpreting traditional genres such as bathers, odalisques, and portraiture.

National | Virtual Lunch & Learn: Understanding the Gender Pay Gap in the Arts
2023-05-24 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual
9 am PDT / 10 am MDT / 11 am CDT / 12 pm EDT

Welcome to our Virtual Lunch & Learn Series! We’re looking forward to seeing you at our complimentary lunchtime professional development series on Wednesdays this spring—join us from wherever you happen to be.

How are we addressing the gender pay gap in our industry as a whole, and in each of our organizations? Is there progress being made, and what are the current challenges? On May 24, please join ArtTable’s Lila Harnett Executive Director, Jessica L. Porter, in conversation with sociologist Dr. Gillian Gualtieri, who specializes in the relationship between race, gender, organizations, and culture, and is the lead on ArtTable’s ArtTable Survey on Working in the Arts.

Dr. Gillian Gualtieri’s cross-disciplinary scholarship examines the field of cultural production in its widest sense: how art is made and valued; and how taste, gatekeeping, and criticism shape prestige. Gualtieri looks at who is operating in these spaces and how systems of racial, gender, class, and national inequality shape the field.

A widely-published scholar, she has studied art and craft as categories—examining where ideas of creativity and function intersect in American fine dining and food writing, and how innovation across and within artistic practices in general is starting to destabilize the traditional hierarchies between art and craft.

Gualtieri is most recently a co-author of “Campus Connections for Creative Careers: Social capital, gender inequality, and artistic work,” in Poetics 96 (2023). This analysis of the data from the Strategic National Arts Alumni Project (SNAAP) examines how social capital in college supports more successful post-graduation job searches—but found there are disparities between men and women in their access to social capital and the impact of social capital and its ability to confer career advantages. A recommendation for focused networking and mentorship in the arts is one of the possible calls to action from the study. This is impactful research for post-secondary educators and those who are working with early-career colleagues to consider some of the deeper systemic issues at play as we work toward equity in our professions.

New York, NY | Guided Tour of “Wangechi Mutu: Intertwined” at the New Museum
2023-05-13 13:30 - 14:30 (America/New_York) | The New Museum, 235 Bowery, New York, New York, 10002, United States
Join ArtTable at The New Museum for a tour of a major solo exhibition of the work of Wangechi Mutu (b. 1972, Nairobi), bringing together over one-hundred works from across her twenty-five-year career. The tour will be led by New Museum teaching artist, Yasmeen Abdalla.ArtTable had the chance to interview Mutu in 2014 in partnership with artnet. This tour brings us full circle to see the significant development and accomplishment in her career since that time.Representing the full breadth of Mutu’s practice, the presentation will encompass painting, collage, drawing, sculpture, film, and performance. Mutu first gained acclaim for her collage-based practice exploring camouflage, transformation, and mutation. She extends these strategies to her work across various media, developing hybrid, fantastical forms that fuse mythical and folkloric narratives with layered sociohistorical references. “Wangechi Mutu: Intertwined” will trace connections between recent developments in the artist’s sculptural practice and her decades-long exploration of the legacies of colonialism, globalization, and African and diasporic cultural traditions. At once culturally specific and transnational in scope, Mutu’s work grapples with contemporary realities, while proffering new models for a radically changed future informed by feminism, Afrofuturism, and interspecies symbiosis.This exhibition is curated by Margot Norton, Allen and Lola Goldring Senior Curator, and Vivian Crockett, Curator, with Ian Wallace, Curatorial Assistant.

Dallas, TX | "Lives of the Gods: Divinity in Maya Art" at the Kimbell Art Museum with Jennifer Casler Price
2023-05-10 11:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Kimbell Art Museum, 3333 Camp Bowie Boulevard, Fort Worth, 76107, United States
Join ArtTable at The Kimbell Art Museum for a guided tour of Lives of the Gods: Divinity in Maya Art led by Curator of Asian, African, and Ancient American Art, Jennifer Casler Price.

An exhibition of nearly 100 rarely seen masterpieces and recent discoveries depicts episodes in the life cycle of the gods, from the moment of their birth to resplendent transformations as blossoming flowers or fearsome creatures of the night. Created by masters of the Classic period (A.D. 250–900) in the spectacular royal cities in the tropical forests of what is now Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico, these landmark works evoke a world in which the divine, human, and natural realms are interrelated and intertwined. Lenders include major museum collections in Europe, the United States, and Latin America, with many works on view for the first time in the U.S., including new discoveries from Palenque (Mexico) and El Zotz (Guatemala).

“Mind-blowing”– New York Magazine

“Totally riveting”– The New York Times

“A magnificent show”— The New Yorker
