Word has it PAM's first Arlene Schnitzer Curator of Northwest Art, Jennifer Gately has quit. She certainly has had a challenging role to fulfill (bridging historical and contemporary concerns) and PORT thinks her record of mostly positive reviews here says it all... it certainly gives an accurate picture of what kind of curator she is. Also her recent re-install of the Hoffman galleries is spacious and uncluttered (if only the rest of the collection were the same... I hear a re-install is coming). Her eventual replacement will inherit an exciting and challenging situation in one of the country's most active art scenes.

Here are our reviews and other posts in chronologically descending order:

2008 Contemporary Northwest Art Awards
Jenene Nagy
Marcus Rothkowitz ...a painting that should be in the collection
Wes Mills
Chris Johanson
Roy McMakin
2006 Oregon Biennial

This is rather unfortunate. Jennifer Gately was integral in PAM actually gaining contemporary art relevancy in the last couple years.
