Work in Denver, a vibrant city close to spectacular mountains. PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES: Oversee the study-storage collection; organize a biennial symposium and publish proceedings; collaborate with curator of Spanish Colonial Art in galleries and special exhibitions organized collectively as the New World Department; prepare and give lectures, tours and workshops to a variety of audiences.
