Successful Women's Series with Cady Shaw

Description

As a historian and museum professional, Shaw brings more than 15 years of experience to the Tulsa Arts District. In her previous positions with the Choctaw and Cherokee nations, she curated exhibitions for the Municipal Library at Versailles in Paris, France; the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C.; the Choctaw Cultural Center; and various locations throughout Oklahoma, California, and Texas. 

As director of the Woody Guthrie Center, Shaw will present major exhibitions, plan events and programming, and provide day-to-day oversight of the center among an extensive list of other responsibilities.

The Woody Guthrie Center, opened in 2013, is dedicated to spreading Woody Guthrie’s message of diversity, equality and justice to a new generation who can create their own ripples of change. The center honors Guthrie’s life and legacy by educating visitors, teachers, students and scholars about his relevance today and his important role in American history through on-site programming, classroom materials, youth music programs, artist-in-residence programs, school outreach, internships, fellowship opportunities and the Woody Guthrie Archives.
