About Curator

Founded in 2016 by Dan Golden and Jen Huh, Curator emerged as a digital publication devoted to conversations with artists, writers, and designers. Amanda Quinn Olivar joined early on, serving as Editor-in-Chief during Curator’s formative years and helping to shape its voice and direction.

In 2025, Curator is shifting beyond the traditional publishing model toward a more focused, project-led platform driven by clear concepts and purposeful execution. While collaboration and creative dialogue remain core, we’re building a space for active engagement, experimentation, and work that contributes meaningfully to the cultural and creative landscape.
