About
A leader in academia and award winning arts professional
Guinevere Fox Veen
A professional designer for nearly two decades.
Having her Master of Fine Arts degree in Exhibition Design, she has worked with world-renowned cultural institutions, museums, and galleries and is a professor at Southern California colleges.
By specializing in designing and developing museum-quality graphics, Guinevere has become a leader in her industry. Due to her diverse background in technology and art, her expertise is in leading digital or print design projects, arts education, and working with challenging design deliverables. She excels in converging technology, education, and design for organizations.
Guinevere Fox Veen received her Master of Fine Arts in Exhibition Design from California State University, Fullerton, and curates exhibitions that activate dialogues within communities that advocate for equality, social justice, and sustainability. She has developed exhibitions in commercial, nonprofit, municipal, and experimental art spaces. Also, she was an Exhibition Designer at the Getty Museum.
Her recent publication Museums Between Two Worlds delves into the changing practices of exhibition designers and curators as artistic practices shift to technology-based art forms. Another book she published was an exhibition-related publication, Reclaimed Landscape: The Art of Jarod Charzewski which explores the work of Charzewski and exposes the consumption and waste patterns of the United States.
Her passion for curating exhibitions in experimental spaces to bring contemporary art and art education to the masses inspired her to be the Founder and curator of Formation Gallery. Formation Gallery is a mobile art gallery that organizes public art exhibitions to provide access to contemporary art in nontraditional and unconventional ways. Artists and their artwork are taken outside the conventional gallery setting and placed in public spaces with their works creating the “walls” of the gallery.
Guinevere is passionate about supporting emerging artists and creating exhibitions that are inclusive for all viewers. She believes that art and creativity are fundamental components of an empowered and thriving community.
