International Advisory Board

Comprised of some of the world's most respected contemporary art curators, artists, collectors, and art advisors, the International Advisory Board (IAB) provides current knowledge, critical thinking and analysis that informs the Stuart Collection's expansion of its unique assemblage of site-specific works through commissioning leading emerging and mid-career artists of our time. The IAB brings new attitudes and cultural diversity to the Stuart Collection's discourse of contemporary art, that aims to question conventional understandings of public art in playful and insightful ways. The Stuart Collection seeks to enrich the cultural, intellectual, and scholarly life of the UC San Diego campus community and local San Diego community; and to enhance public life through art that encourages thoughtful deliberation, an awareness of difference, mental and physical wellbeing, and that inspires creative solutions to complex issues.
