I am pleased to report that the AAMC Student Forum will be off and running tomorrow.  We hope that the forum will become a place for all students undergraduate through PhD to communicate about the curatorial profession.  To that end, we have established two discussion forums: one for graduate and PhD students, and one for undergraduate students. 

Over the next few months we plan to initiate online conversations through a series of posts, written by curatorial moderators, AAMC staff, and you - our forum subscribers.  The forum should be a place for open discussion and inquiry, and moderators will be available to answer questions about the curatorial profession or provide insight about issues raised by subscribers. It should be noted that moderators may choose to cull their responses to members into one post on a weekly or even bi-weekly basis, so please be patient when awaiting a reply.  Our first online moderators will be Alexandra Schwartz, Curator of Contemporary Art at the Montclair Art Museum in New Jersey and William Breazeale, Curator at the Crocker Art Museum in California. 

In the meantime, please review the attached FAQ document for additional information about the forum and to learn how to subscribe to instant email notifications or weekly digests.

Should you have any difficulty accessing the forum, please contact Madeleine Haddon, programs assistant at madeleine.haddon@artcurators.org.

All best,

Sally Block

Executive Director
