Rule: Think beyond the gallery.

"The physical gallery is just one place where the work of curators can and should happen. Focused, argument-driven shows, like those created at Chipstone, are beginnings not ends. Leverage all the deep research that should go into every exhibition to create videos, to publish your findings, to mentor students, to reach out to community members, and to inspire your next project.  Transform your exhibitions into idea hubs that allow you to extend their impact even after the all the objects go home."

Rule: Don't stop reading.

"It doesn't matter if it's the New York Times art section, an old classic or a re-read of your favorite novel from a childhood summer. The power of a new sentence can empower, engage, and induce great thought and creativity within yourself."
