Latin American Museum Professionals Workshop

Sponsored by The International Council of The Museum of Modern Art and the Lampadia Foundation, the Latin American Museum Professionals Workshop was held in November of 1998 at MoMA, during the Museum's landmark exhibition Jackson Pollock: A Retrospective. Using the show itself as a case study, participants discussed a wide range of issues related to exhibition organization. Participants also attended a lecture by then Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture Kirk Varnedoe, and also visited the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson; El Museo del Barrio; the Americas Society; and other New York–area arts institutions and private collections.

The International Program has in recent years also sponsored workshops on museum libraries and archives in Caracas, Buenos Aires, and Havana, as well as workshops on conservation and fundraising in Caracas and Mexico City.
