Aubrey Hobart received her MA in Art History at the University of Colorado Boulder in 2010

Hobart is an art historian who works as the Curator of Collections and Exhibitions at the Roswell Museum and Art Center in Roswell, New Mexico. With more than twenty years of experience in all aspects of museum work, she believes in the power of museums to support and transform their communities. Her primary areas of expertise are in Mesoamerican and Colonial Latin American art, as well as trends in museum exhibitions, but two years of working in Roswell have provided a crash course in 20th century New Mexican art and history, as well. Dr. Hobart graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz with a PhD in Visual Studies. She also holds a Master’s degree in Art History from the University of Colorado, Boulder, and a Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology from New College of Florida.

The Art & Art History department has invited arts leaders from around the region and CU Boulder alumni to share their knowledge and provide a direct link for students to learn about and discuss career-relevant topics. We invite all students to participate and pave a new pathway for a thriving career in the arts.

This program is designed as a series of professional development conversations that encourages skills development through peer-to-peer exchange. Topics will include: arts funding, museum standards and best practices, creative business plans, exhibition development, and many others. These discussions can help students examine the successes and challenges of working in the arts, build a community of future collaborators and engage in critical thinking about the role of the arts within our society.

• Free to participate
• No advanced registration is required
• Students working in all disciplines are welcome to join the discussion
• Sponsored by the Student Advisory Board of the Department of Art & Art History
