Curator Talk: Ben Levy

A scholar of both printmaking and photography, Ben Levy joined the Eskenazi Museum in 2025 with over a decade of experience in connecting art and audiences. Levy studied printmaking and photography at the Maryland Institute College of Art, where he trained to be a collaborative printmaker before turning to curatorial work. He previously held curatorial positions at the John and Mildred Putnam Collection; the Cleveland Museum of Art; the Henry Art Gallery, University of Washington; and the Baltimore Museum of Art. Levy leads the Center for Prints, Drawings, and Photographs, creating a robust program to research, exhibit, and publish the museum’s collection of more than 24,000 works on paper. He develops special exhibitions and leads department acquisitions, working closely with curatorial colleagues on the collection’s strategic growth and development.
