With over 25 years of experience in the art world, Mark Ormond has organized dozens of museum exhibitions, and authored, edited, and contributed to numerous brochures, catalogs, and publications on artists. During his 10-year association with the Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, he was senior curator and deputy director for collections and programs. Mark, who is the curator of the Arts Advocates’ collection, will explain the complexity of planning, fundraising, acquiring, and transporting art … everything involved in creating a successful show. He will also discuss how the role of a curator has changed in today’s art world with new forms of emerging art (videos, NFT’s and performance art). Wine will be served with the talk.
