DMA announces curator of Asian Art

Senior Curator of Asian Art, Jacqueline Chao, talks to members of the media in Our Asian Art Museum The Crow at 20 exhibit at the Crow Museum of Asian Art in Dallas on Wednesday, September 26, 2018. Jacqueline Chao is moving across the street from the Crow Museum to join the Dallas Museum of Art. Starting last month, Chao will be the Cecil and Ida Green Curator of Asian Art at the Dallas Museum Art.

Now, she’ll share her passion for Asian Art at a museum that has a significant and growing collection of Asian art. In the new role, she’ll guide the acquisition of new works, organize special exhibitions highlighting Asian art and contribute to scholarly research and writing. Chao earned a doctorate in the history and theory of art from Arizona State University. She holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Toronto and a master’s degree from Arizona State.

Her former boss, Amy Hofland, senior director of the Crow Museum, said she was proud of Chao’s accomplishments. “The Crow would not be where it is today without her tremendous vision and support of new histories in Asian Art,” Hofland said.
