About
Aubrey Prestwich is a Master's student whose work focuses on early twentieth-century art, architecture, design, and material culture. Though she is still narrowing her focus, her interests include the material and design culture of the early twentieth century, the Taos Society of Artists and their contemporaries in Santa Fe and Albuquerque, and exhibition cultures spanning from the World's Fairs of the late nineteenth century to the Good Design exhibitions of the mid-twentieth.
Prestwich holds a Graduate Diploma from the Courtauld Institute of Art (Thesis Title: 'Westward the Course of Empire: The Taos Society of Artists and the Legacy of Manifest Destiny') as well as a Bachelor's of Environmental Design from the University of Colorado Boulder (Landscape Architecture). She also has experience in lecture and event planning for small to midsize cultural institutions, such as the Longmont Museum's Thursday Nights at the Museum series and UIC's own Art History Colloquium.
