From January to May 2013, this dynamic team of young artists, art historians, actors, writers, cooks, and entrepreneurs used the Albright-Knox’s collection to explore new ways of looking at art and learned what goes on behind-the-scenes at the museum from various staff members.

The 2013 Future Curators’ exhibition of artwork by local high school students—In: Introspection, Interaction—was on view at the Albright-Knox May 3–June 16, 2013, with an exhibition opening celebration planned by the team on May 2.
