The Bass is excited to announce Claudia Mattos as its new Associate Curator of New Media Art! In this new role, Claudia will assist with organizing contemporary art exhibitions, commissioned projects, rotations of the permanent collection, installations of public sculpture and associated programming. She arrives at an exciting moment as the museum begins to place increased focus on art and technology through its Knight New Media Art Initiatives. Claudia will conduct research on artists participating in exhibitions, works of art in the museum’s collection and artwork under consideration for acquisition, as well as serve as an important partner in the plan to make more accessible the museum’s contemporary permanent collection with the use of digital technologies. Claudia has previously held positions at The Baltimore Museum of Art and Locust Projects, Miami, among other institutions and galleries. In 2022, she was a Researcher-in-Residence at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, South Korea. Claudia earned her MA in Art History from The Courtauld Institute of Art, London; and a BA in Art History from Cornell University, Ithaca, NY. 

The Bass is a proud recipient of $400,000 in grant funds from Art Bridges Foundation Access for All pilot program. Over the course of three years, these funds will support extended museum hours, free admission, free public programs and free community wide events at the museum. The Art Bridges Access for All pilot program is a new $40 million, three-year funding initiative that aims to increase access to museums while fostering engagement with local audiences. The initiative provides support to 64 museum partners across the nation by covering the costs of admission, programming, marketing, outreach and additional efforts that reduce barriers to museum access.
