Nicole Lampl Joins The Westmoreland Museum of American Art, in Greensburg, as Curator of American Art
The Westmoreland Museum of American Art announces the appointment of NICOLE LAMPL as Curator of American Art. With 16 years of experience across museums, galleries, academic institutions, and arts education, Lampl’s curatorial work is rooted in scholarly research, interdisciplinary thinking, and a deep commitment to public engagement. In this role, she will work to give voice to diverse perspectives and expand the traditional canon of American art through the presentation of innovative exhibitions and by guiding the Museum’s new art acquisitions.
“I am honored to join The Westmoreland and excited to collaborate with the team to shape a curatorial vision that makes art more inclusive, resonant, and engaging for diverse audiences,” said Nicole Lampl. “At the heart of this work is my commitment to creating meaningful audience-centered experiences and ensuring the Museum is welcoming and relevant to all.”
Nicole Lampl most recently served as the inaugural Director and Curator of the Reeves House Visual Arts Center in Atlanta, where she launched the visual arts program from the ground up—curating over 20 exhibitions and shaping the institution’s identity through strategic planning, community partnerships, and immersive programming. Her past exhibitions have explored intersections of art, science, identity, and social justice, and combined conceptual rigor with accessible storytelling. She has also held curatorial roles at the New Orleans Museum of Art and worked independently on a range of curatorial projects.
Her writing has been published in academic journals, and she has presented her work at conferences across the country. Nicole Lampl holds an MA in Art History from Tulane University and a BA with honors from UC Berkeley, where she double-majored in Art History and Studio Art. Her graduate research on Gustav Klimt was supported by a year-long fellowship at Freie Universität in Berlin.
“We’re excited to welcome Nicole to The Westmoreland in this lead curatorial role,” said Richard M. Scaife Director/CEO Silvia Filippini-Fantoni, PhD. “She brings a forward-thinking approach that aligns with our strategic initiatives to grow our audience, foster belonging, and deepen community engagement.”
