Bio
Joyce Weaver
Kim juggled working with 5 curators and handled everything from research to organizing collector group meetings, from requesting loans of artwork from artists, museums and collectors for exhibitions to writing label copy, physically processing gifts to entering collection information into the database. Great community relations skills - able to negotiate with artists and engage the public.
Carolyn Mints
I had the opportunity to work closely with Kimberly on an exhibition at the Mint Museum that focused on Black males. I found Kim to be methodical, insightful and engaging in her curatorial approach to the project. She was methodical and insightful with the contrast of images and messages that were represented. She was engaging by inviting a diverse group of artists and by providing community dialogue to take place around the show..
