Emily Maple

WHILE AT WAM:

I curated the Cowboys and Indians exhibition of a portfolio of Andy Warhol prints and presented my research on the prints to WAM’s tour guides to inform their public tours of the exhibition. I also prepared a gift of 300 contemporary prints to be reviewed for acquisition into the permanent collection, documenting each print and researching the artists for the museum’s database.

Leading the Student United Way, a student group at the University of Minnesota, she is able to reconnect with the student community that she enjoys working with so much.
