The Everson Museum of Art has hired ADAM CARLIN as director of learning and engagement. In this newly-created senior leadership position, Carlin will develop a pedagogical strategy that aligns with the Everson’s commitment to DEAI values, with a focus on expanding access to meaningful learning opportunities across the museum experience — onsite, in the community, and virtually — for all ages and abilities. Carlin will direct a department that encompasses youth and family programs, adult classes and events, community engagement and outreach, and an established docent-led tour program. Carlin will also provide staff leadership to the equity & engagement committee of the board of trustees. An educator, administrator, and social-practice artist, Carlin comes to the Everson from the University of North Carolina Greensboro (UNCG), where he held the dual position of director of Greensboro Project Space, an off-campus contemporary-art center, and director of community engagement for the College of Visual and Performing Arts. There, he created and supported community engagement programs and advanced partnerships between UNCG and the community. Carlin holds a bachelor’s degree of fine arts from the California College of the Arts and a master’s degree on fine arts in art and social practice from Portland State University.
