Cantor Arts Center appoints new curator

The Cantor Arts Center has appointed ELIZABETH MITCHELL as the new Burton and Deedee McMurtry Curator of Drawings, Prints and Photographs. Mitchell begins her duties in November; they include oversight of nearly 7,000 artworks from the 15th to the 20th century from among the center’s collection of 30,000-plus objects in all media and diverse cultures spanning 5,000 years, from ancient China and Egypt to the 21st century.
“After an extensive international search, I am delighted to welcome Elizabeth Mitchell to the Cantor Arts Center,” Director Thomas K. Seligman said in a press release. “Elizabeth is an imaginative curator with a broad interest in art and a desire to make art accessible to museum visitors. Her tenure at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Fogg Museum at Harvard has prepared her very well to develop and enhance our fine collections of works on paper and develop engaging exhibitions at the museum.”
