Working: How to Curate a Small Town Art Museum
This week, host June Thomas talks to Courtney Gilbert, curator of the Sun Valley Museum of Art in Ketchum, Idaho. In the interview, Courtney digs into the process of curating a \u201cnon-collecting\u201d museum, which means they start from scratch with each exhibition, and they don\u2019t keep a large inventory of pieces. She also explains how she comes up with ideas for exhibitions, what a good exhibition should do, and how she serves her specific community.\xa0\n\nAfter the interview, June and co-host Isaac Butler talk about the importance of creating guidelines and best-practices for their work.\xa0\n\nIn the exclusive Slate Plus segment, Courntey discusses her education and career journey.\xa0\n\xa0\nSend your questions about creativity and any other feedback to working@slate.com or give us a call at (304) 933-9675.\n\nPodcast production by Cameron Drews.\n\nIf you enjoy this show, please consider signing up for Slate Plus.
