Erinn Gavaghan

Erinn Gavaghan serves as the Emerging Curator for Momentum OKC 2011.  OVAC recruits up-and-coming curators to assist the guest curator in working with artists who receive the Spotlight commissioned projects and overseeing the vision for the general juried exhibition.  See yesterday’s post for a profile of Guest Curator Clint Stone.

She became the Executive Director of the Norman Arts Council in 2010. There she provides leadership in all aspects of operations including planning their events and marketing.  Gavaghan received her MA in Art History and Criticism at Webster University, St. Louis, MO, in 2010.

Before moving to St. Louis, Gavaghan worked for Ballet Oklahoma directing special events and volunteers and spent several years teaching photography at City Arts Center.
