The Curator Magazine Turns Two, Gets New Editor

Aug. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- The Curator, a weekly online culture magazine published by International Arts Movement, will turn two years old on Friday, August 27. The magazine announces the signs of a “world that ought to be” found in every day encounters, and seeks to inspire people to engage deeply with culture that enriches life and broadens experience. Several personnel changes will mark this second anniversary, including a new Editor.

Alissa Wilkinson, who founded The Curator in August 2008, has accepted a full-time faculty appointment at The King's College, where she will be teaching writing. Ms. Wilkinson is also Associate Editor of Comment magazine, published by Cardus in Canada, and she is a contributor to many publications, including Paste, Halogen, Filmwell, and Patrol. She will move into the advisory role of Founding Editor and will contribute occasional essays.

Natalie Race, who has worked as Associate Editor of The Curator since May, will become the magazine's new Editor. After graduating from The University of Virginia with a multi-disciplinary degree in Religious Studies, Art History, and Literature, Ms. Race spent a year in New York City, where she worked closely with International Arts Movement and as a contributing writer for The Curator. In addition to her work with The Curator, she is currently engaged in research on community development finance and is on staff with New City Arts, a non-profit arts organization in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Meaghan Ritchey, of New York, will continue as Managing Editor, and Jenni Simmons, of Texas, remains Assistant Editor of the magazine.
