Erin Florence Receives Research Fellowship at Philadelphia Museum of Art


ETSU Alum Erin Florence (BFA 2008) will be joining the Philadelphia Museum of Art for a Research Fellowship in the Department of Prints, Drawings and Photographs.

This is a three-year fellowship which provides an opportunity for close collaboration with the curators as well as research within the department's collection of nearly 35,000 photographs. This position falls under a museum-wide initiative to completely catalog all works of art in each department and to make them available to the public by way of the museum's website. Once related research is completed, all works will be photographed so that the museum has a digital file of everything. 

Erin studied photography at ETSU before continuing on to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she became a curatorial intern in the museum's photography department. She has also held positions at the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Not a bad pedigree. Congratulations to Erin on all of her success.
