Hi all! My name is Caroline Bastian and I am a third year Art and Architecture History student here at Miami. I have both a co-major in Arts Management and a minor in Museums and Society. Both of these programs have been established recently within the College of Creative Arts and have played a vital role in increasing my interest in both museum work and arts entrepreneurship. This year, I am one of the Arts Management Interns at the museum and working closely with both marketing\/communications and collections. One of my duties is to further expand MUAM\u2019s student-run blog. Over the next year, I will be keeping you up to date on cool things happening at the museum, on campus, and any other stories that may pop up along the way! I also will be introducing you to our other incredible interns and student staff at the museum.<\/p>\n

This semester is not my first time working at the museum. During the fall of my sophomore year, I was a Curatorial Intern for Jason Shaiman where I worked closely on\u00a0the upcoming exhibition: Telling a People\u2019s Story<\/a>,<\/em> which will open in late January 2018. Crazy enough, when I completed my work with Jason, the exhibition still had no name and was in the works of securing pieces for the show. As much as I would have loved to stay on and continue to help Jason through the spring with this groundbreaking exhibition, I decided to study abroad in Luxembourg, where I missed a few trains, broke a couple bones, met some incredible people, and did a little studying, too. Being in such an art-driven culture, I worked with MUAM Director Robert Wicks on creating an independent study where I analyzed and compared various museums and how they responded to questions of appropriation and repatriation. Not only did this independent study give me an excuse to swing by a museum everywhere I went, it also gave me the insight to look deeper than the objects on display in a gallery and to see the bigger picture.<\/p>\n

\u00a0This past summer, I worked as the Development and Membership Intern at Laguna Art Museum in Laguna Beach, California. \u00a0Though I have enjoyed working directly with exhibitions, I learned many vital aspects to running a successful non-profit museum and the business portion that goes into it. While at LAM, I was continuously updating membership files and further preparing for their centennial celebration taking place next year. This experience was incredibly beneficial to my future museum plans, still, I am so excited to be back in Oxford at MUAM for the next year!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
