Embracing its refreshed direction and trajectory, The A+D Museum is proud to announce the launch of the Guest Curator Program. The program is a year-long experiment for testing and understanding traditional modes, models, and means to architectural and design curation. 

The program invites five guest curators to work alongside the A+D to tackle all aspects of the manner in which museums and the dissemination of knowledge are addressed. The direct output of the program is not defined but is instead understood as a collection of tangents into publications, public events, conversations and curatorial adventures — if not to say; it is a mere melting pot for creative cultural endeavors. Working with today's mediums, questions, and inquiries, the program will look to set the groundwork for architecture and design's curatorial practices of tomorrow by understanding their limits today. 

In a statement by the A+D, "Exhibitions, curation and experimentation through making at large are one of the most effective, potent and pure means of disciplinary investigation today. This program allows curators who reside in various disciplines to come together and begin to shape, view and question the limits and boundaries around them as a collective voice, one which the A+D is poised and ready to help echo through the Art's District, Los Angeles and beyond."

The first year's round of guest curators are Ivan Bernal, Clemens Finkelstein, Deborah Garcia, Ryan Tyler Martinez and Yaohua Wang.
