The Denver Daily News notes that the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver has announced the appointment of Nora Burnett Abrams as associate curator. Abrams has been helping with exhibitions at MCA Denver as an adjunct curator, working from her home in New York until she moved to Denver at the beginning of the year.
“Nora brings impeccable academic credentials and an outstanding ability to make contemporary art accessible to wide audiences,” said a statement from director Adam Lerner. “Working with her on two exhibitions, I quickly saw that Nora was unique among her peers nationally. Her hire is a major step in realizing MCA Denver’s vision of building our national stature while providing our local community with engaging exhibitions and educational programs.”
In addition to her work with MCA Denver, Abrams has experience working on exhibitions at major institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Grey Art Gallery at New York University, according to a press release. She received degrees from Columbia University and Stanford University and has taught art history at NYU.
