#AskACurator is a day on social media (mostly Twitter) where anyone can ask museums and those who curate them questions about art, their job, and anything in-between. I think this is a wonderful way to engage more people when it comes museums, and to art in general. And hosting it on social media gives off a more casual, welcoming vibe. I think a lot of people can be intimidated by art or by art galleries and museums (I know I certainly am), and that by hosting it on Twitter, it allows anyone the opportunity to interact with curators.
Some questions I have for #AskACurator Day are:
1. How exactly are some of the exhibits in your gallery/museum curated? What do you look for when planning an exhibit?
2. What are some of the oldest pieces you have in your collection?
3. Which piece in your collection is the most popular? Is the most popular piece also the most famous piece?
4. When you want to show a certain painting or exhibit, how do you go about doing that?
5. Does your collection host any work done by someone whose from North Western Ontario? If so, who?
6. What do you do when a piece in your collection is damaged?
