The Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) is pleased to announce the appointment of Paige Rozanski as its associate curator of modern and contemporary art. Rozanski brings over a decade of exceptional expertise in modern and contemporary art and professional experience implementing projects and fostering relationships with living artists. 

“I am thrilled at the opportunity to join the curatorial team at the Toledo Museum of Art and to work with such distinguished colleagues,” Rozanski said. “I am inspired by the museum’s commitment to expanding the narratives of art history to be more inclusive, telling new stories and highlighting the breadth of human creativity through a reimagination of the visitor experience.” 

Rozanski expressed a strong interest in focusing on projects that create conversation around the museum’s historical collection to engage audiences in new ways–a dialogue she hopes to grow as TMA embarks on one of the most transformative times in its history. 

“We are excited to have Paige join TMA as our associate curator of modern and contemporary art,” said Anna Marley, director of curatorial affairs at TMA. “Her keen knowledge of modernism, combined with a deep passion for working with living artists, will help us reimagine our focus on new media art and expand our collection of 20th century modernist art globally. I know that Paige will bring a warm and engaging energy to her role as ambassador for modern and contemporary art at TMA. She is passionate about curating exhibitions that forward the field of art history at the highest scholarly level, while at the same time making contemporary art accessible to all.” 

Rozanski is an interdisciplinary scholar with a focus in modern and contemporary art and cultural history from 1945 to the present. She holds a B.A. in Anthropology with honors from Vassar College and an M.A. in Modern Art: Critical Studies from Columbia University. 

Prior to joining TMA, Rozanski worked for over a decade at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where she contributed to over a dozen exhibitions, including The Land Carries Our Ancestors: Contemporary Art by Native Americans, Philip Guston Now, and Los Angeles to New York: Dwan Gallery, 1959–1971. Rozanski recently published “We Are All One: In the Company of USCO” in New York History (Cornell University Press, Winter 2024) and wrote, “‘The Communication of Experience is Art:’ USCO, the Castalia Foundation, and Psychedelic Art in the Hudson Valley” in Hudson River Valley Review (Marist College, Autumn 2024) with co-author Devin R. Lander. 

Energized by TMA’s vision to become the model art museum in the U.S., Rozanski is thrilled to contribute to the museum’s innovative programming, build relationships with local artists, and call Toledo home.
