Connective Conversations: Curator/Critic Tours and Lectures

The Ford Family Foundation was established in 1957 by Kenneth W. and Hallie E. Ford. Its mission is successful citizens and vital rural communities in Oregon and Siskiyou County, California. The Foundation is located in Roseburg, Oregon, with a scholarship office in Eugene. For more information about the Foundation and its Visual Arts program please visit www.tfff.org. The Foundation is the sole funder of its Visual Arts program of which the Curator and Critic Tours is a key component. It partners with Oregon’s leading visual arts educators, gallerists, museums, and arts professionals in certain aspects of program delivery, such as with the University of Oregon. The Foundation does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, disability, or religion.

The Ford Family Foundation has collaborated with the University of Oregon School of Art+Design, Department of Art to conduct the Connective Conversations | Curator and Critic Tours and Lectures since its launch in 2010. The Curator and Critic Tours and Lectures Series is the seventh and final element of The Ford Family Foundation’s Visual Arts Program’s investment in Oregon visual arts institutions.
