The Masur Museum of Art’s Annual Juried Competition
showcases contemporary artists throughout the United States of America
working in any medium.
The 52nd Annual Juried Competition is sponsored by CenturyLink.
Sandra Firmin, Juror
Director and Chief Curator, Colorado University Art Museum
Sandra Q. Firmin was Curator of the UB Art
Galleries, gallery of the University of Buffalo SUNY, a position she
held from 2003 to 2014. She holds an M.A. from Bard College’s Center for
Curatorial Studies (2002), and was awarded a Philadelphia Exhibitions
Initiative Fellowship at Arcadia University Art Gallery (2003). Firmin
co-curated the traveling exhibition Kim Jones: A Retrospective (with
Julie Joyce). The exhibition was accompanied by the catalogue “Mudman:
The Odyssey of Kim Jones” (MIT Press, 2006), co-edited with Joyce. In
2010, Firmin organized Artpark: 1974–1984, an exhibition and publication
(Princeton Architectural Press, 2010) chronicling the seminal years of
an innovative residency program located in Lewiston, New York, just
north of Niagara Falls. At the UB Art Galleries, Firmin established an
annual residency program in which artists are presented with an empty
gallery to transform over time while open to the public. These
commissioned projects aim to forge meaningful interactions between
artists and diverse groups of people while acknowledging a turn toward
research-based and ephemeral site-specific approaches in contemporary
art. In 2014 Firmin co-chaired (with Julian Cox) the Association of Art
Museum Curators’ annual conference in Detroit, and moderated the panel
Urban Ecologies and Cultural Exchange.
