A podcast about one curator's favorite works of art. In her words: "keep looking closely and ye shall be rewarded."

In The Curator's Choice, Ann Shafer talks about favorite prints, drawings, and photographs, some of which she acquired for the Baltimore Museum of Art, some that got away, as well as other objects of note. In each short episode, Shafer discusses one object or set of objects, including why she is drawn to it and how she would present it to a museum for acquisition, as well as some behind-the-scenes thoughts about the business of acquiring art. Short and digestible, Shafer aims to demystify the role of the curator and open up pathways for more meaningful discussions about art.
