Who We Are

  • to This is a past program

Join us for a Q&A with members of the Hammer team about staff roles at the museum. Senior curator Anne Ellegood, chief preparator/exhibition designer Peter Gould, director of public programs Claudia Bestor, and assistant director of academic programs Susan Bell Yank will illuminate day-to-day life of the museum and discuss the career trajectories that led them to their positions at the Hammer.

Moderated by Allison Agsten, curator of public engagement and director of visitor services.

Public programs are made possible, in part, by a major gift from Ann and Jerry Moss. Additional support is provided by Bronya and Andrew Galef, Good Works Foundation and Laura Donnelley, an anonymous donor, and the Hammer Programs Committee.
