Monthly Student Spotlight
Victoria Lee

|
Name: Victoria Lee
Graduate Degree: M.S. in Arts Management, Graduate Certificate in Museum Studies, 2018
Undergraduate Degree: B.A. in Economics and Philosophy, 2015
Undergraduate University: University of Vermont
Hometown: Albany, NY
Arts & Culture Involvement: I go to school for them, so there's that. I have also co-curated a couple exhibits and am working on one now with a class at the Lane County Historical Museum. I'm part of a marketing committee for a student fundraiser and participate in the digital arts a bit. Lastly, I consider myself to be art. Fine, fine art.
Hobbies: I get tattoos when I'm bored, I play ukulele frequently and write songs about breakfast tacos. Sometimes I make subway maps. I ski, I like eating yogurt with baby spoons because it lasts longer, and I read in a posh British accent in my head. I project moving images onto objects and am known to burst into song and dance when it feels right. I spend more time reading about fast-food marketing than is perhaps reasonable, I walk through puddles regardless of the permeability of my shoes, and I sometimes play the air-didgeridoo.
What arts & culture event/opportunity are you most looking forward to in 2017? Museum Camp at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History. It's a three day long change-making conference/workshop/sleepover/summer camp led by Nina Simon and her hooligans. Google her. She's a hero.
What brought you to AAD at University of Oregon? Honestly, it was an accident... but I'm happy I'm here now.
What are you most looking forward to learning in this program? I'm interested in exploring roles for new immersive digital technology in the museological space. More specifically, I seek to better understand the potential for augmented and virtual reality as well as projection mapping in education and creating high-affect experiences.
Why are you passionate about arts management as a career? It's a dynamic field that spans a passel of disciplines. A museum exhibition has a unique propensity to string together ostensibly disparate components into a social narrative, far greater than the sum of its parts. It's design, it's ideation, it's narrative construction, and it's an opportunity to transform the seemingly mundane.
What are you interested in doing with your degree after graduation? Dismantling the hierarchy.
Are you currently involved in any internships? This summer, I will be interning at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in the Offie of Programs and Strategic Initiatives. Last term I completed a practicum with Associate Curator of Latin Art, Cheryl Hartup, at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art.
What advice would you give to prospective students looking at this program? Introduce yourself to the fine folks of PPPM and buy a raincoat.

Support Our Student-Led Exhibition at Lane County Historical Museum!
|
|
| participating undergraduate and graduate Museum Studies students |
After visiting the Lane County Historical Museum (LCHM), Museum Studies students noticed an exclusion of an integral part of Lane County's history- the Native community. Partnering with LCHM and local tribal members, we have made it our mission to change this.
We reached out to the LCHM to present an opportunity for growth and inclusion and they were thrilled.
We now have 7 short weeks to create an exhibition lasting for 12-18 months including the narratives of
Lane County's Native peoples.
Through this process we will partner closely with local tribal members to create an authentic and impactful exhibition, offering our community access to historical and contemporary Native culture.
Unfortunately, funding to complete this project is very minimal. Through your support we can invest in the materials needed to not only build an exhibition, but also develop the resources to reach out into the community.
With your donation, you have the ability to expand our reach through our community making a larger impact, to empower the voices of those who have been marginalized, to support education, and to strengthen a local culture.

CultureWork 20th Anniversary
Be on the lookout for the first volume of Center for Community Arts and Cultural Policy's
CultureWork 20th Anniversary publication! This year, the CultureWork publication has invited authors from the past 20 years to reflect on perspectives associated with the topics of their original essays or artwork, and develop concise responses regarding arts and cultural management in the 21st century.
The upcoming volume will provide a compendium of short articles and visual responses. Topics will range from the civic impacts of the arts, generational leadership transition, practices in museums, greening public art, regional and international community and neighborhood development, designing for the web, the evolving importance of youth arts and rural arts, and the future of the field. By hearing from multiple, wide ranging author voices, the journal continues to uphold its democratic core.
Look for this unique and important volume to arrive later this month. In addition to the publications that will be released throughout this year, CCACP will be hosting several events to celebrate CultureWork's Anniversary including the upcoming
Arts & Cultural Equity: Current Examples & Relevant Strategies event in Portland.
Sign up to receive quarterly announcements about the 20th anniversary publication by sending your contact information to
