BOULDER, COLO.- After a national search, BMoCA is pleased to announce the hire of Jane Burke as Curator of the museum. Burke previously served as the curatorial fellow in the Textile Art and Fashion Department at the Denver Art Museum. Burke will oversee BMoCA’s expanding exhibition programs, which currently number 20+ annual exhibitions at eight locations across the Denver metro area. She will begin her new role at BMoCA on November 14, 2022.

“I am thrilled to welcome Burke to the BMoCA team,” said David Dadone, BMoCA Executive Director + Chief Curator. “Her extensive experience in both contemporary and encyclopedic museums will be an asset to BMoCA during this important time of growth for our institution. Burke brings expertise that will support and extend BMoCA’s commitment to amplifying the voices of contemporary artists in accessible exhibitions that foster dialogue about current issues. Her community-responsive curatorial approach will advance BMoCA’s mission to inspire creativity and foster community through contemporary art.”

“I am honored to be joining BMoCA’s team in this capacity to help lead the community-minded mission of the institution into its next ambitious, groundbreaking phase,” Burke said. “I look forward to tapping into the existing network of BMoCA and strengthening its reach locally, nationally, and internationally. BMoCA presents the ideal opportunity to steward intimate and authentic connections between artists and audiences and concurrently propel voices to be heard in the broader, global conversation.”




Burke developed her museum career in Honolulu, Hawaii having held curatorial and collections management positions at the Honolulu Museum of Art, The Contemporary Museum, and The East West Center Gallery. Most recently, she was the curatorial fellow in the Textile Art & Fashion department at the Denver Art Museum (DAM). During her eight-year tenure at DAM, Burke co-organized numerous innovative, multi-media exhibitions and co-authored subsequent catalogs in tandem with fashion historian and curator Florence Müller, including: Shock Wave: Japanese Fashion Design 1980s-90s; Drawn to Glamour: Fashion Illustrations by Jim Howard; Dior: From Paris to the World; and Carla Fernández Casa de Moda: A Mexican Fashion Manifesto.

Burke has recently guest curated contemporary art exhibitions featuring both Colorado-based and national artists for Artworks Center for Contemporary Art, RULE Gallery, and the University of Denver Museum of Anthropology. She has also served as an adjunct professor at the University of Denver.

Burke received a bachelor’s degree in studio art from the University of Colorado Boulder and an interdisciplinary master’s degree in Asian art history and Mandarin from the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2022, Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (BMoCA) inspires creativity and fosters community through contemporary art.
