From the Curators….

As senior Art History and Communication Arts students, we have co-curated Meta: an Exhibition about Exhibitions for our senior seminar project. Given that we are both interested in pursuing careers in the museum world, it has been a fabulous opportunity working closely with the design team and staff at Kauffman Museum to curate a relevant and well-done exhibition.

Special thanks goes to Museum Technician, David Kreider, who acted as our point person and offered endless support and guidance from years of experience with Kauffman Museum. Thanks to Curator of Exhibitions, Chuck Regier, and Exhibition Assistant, Rebecca Schrag, for aiding us in developing the aesthetics and graphic design elements within the exhibition; and thanks to Acting Director, Andi Schmidt Andres for helping us with the logistics of the public programming and promotion. Special thanks to museum volunteers, Rachel Pannabecker and Phil Koontz for their assistance in the project.

Lastly, great thanks to our advocate, supporter, professor, and advisor, Dr. Rachel Epp Buller for always being more than willing to offer her time and energy to help us accomplish our goals. It takes a village!
