Call For Texas Artists : 11th Annual Texas Juried Exhibition

Margaret (Maggie) Adler is Curator of Paintings, Sculpture, and Works on Paper at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. Adler’s scholarly research focuses on nineteenth-century art, but she often collaborates with living artists on site-specific installations, including Jean Shin, Gabriel Dawe, Mark Dion, and Justin Favela. Following a 2019 gallery remodel, Adler played a critical role in the museum’s collection reinstallation that reconceived how visitors interact with the collection by emphasizing unexpected visual and scholarly relationships between historical and contemporary works. Since joining the Carter in 2013, Adler has organized numerous exhibitions, including Horizon Lines (2017); In Our Own Words: Native Impressions (2018); The Perilous Texas Adventures of Mark Dion (2020); Mythmakers: The Art of Winslow Homer and Frederic Remington (2020); Sandy Rodriguez In Isolation (2021) and Emancipation: The Unfinished Project of Liberation (2023). Prior to coming to the Carter, Adler held the Barra Fellowship at the Philadelphia Museum of Art after serving as Director’s Office Fellow at the Williams College Museum of Art, where she worked on projects with artists Jenny Holzer and Pepón Osorio. Adler also held the position of Director of Development at the Addison Gallery of American Art.. Adler’s publication highlights include Emancipation: The Unfinished Project of Liberation (published by University of California Press, 2023); Homer|Remington(distributed by Yale University Press, 2020); and Wild Spaces, Open Seasons: Hunting and Fishing in American Art (University of Oklahoma Press, 2016), which was nominated for the Alfred H. Barr Jr. Award. Adler has also collaborated with artists Gabriel Dawe on Embodied Light (Amon Carter Museum of American Art, 2016) and Mark Dion on The Perilous Texas Adventures of Mark Dion (Yale University Press, 2020). Adler holds a Bachelor of Arts in classical languages and the history of art and a Master of Arts in the history of art from Williams College.
