Join the WAAM staff for an informal discussion about our new exhibition in the Towbin Wing, Professional Practice: Staff Picks from the Permanent Collection, on view September 24-December 31, 2021.

This exhibition departs from WAAM’s usual format of curating a selection of work from the permanent collection based on a single thesis; instead, the show presents the choices of six individual staff members, Nicole Goldberg, Beth Humphrey, Emily Jones, Elizabeth Keithline, Emily Gaynor Porto and Emmaline Nathans. The show explores the breadth of the museum’s collection and offers viewers an insight into how staff members connect with the collection on both personal and professional levels. The term ‘professional practice’ refers to each person’s use of her knowledge as an arts professional and the opportunity to act as a creative conduit in the selection of work.
