Kimberly Camp currently serves as an adjunct faculty member in Drexel University’s Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts and Design Arts Administration program. Last year, she served as senior lecturer at Lincoln University, the nation’s oldest degree-granting HBCU, where she was tasked with the creation of a new undergraduate museum studies program that takes full advantage of the Lincoln’s relationship with the world renowned Barnes Foundation. Camp is also president of Galerie Marie, an art gallery that features works of art by more than 60 artists from around the world, and includes Camp’s paintings and dolls.

Previously, Camp served as the first president and CEO of The Barnes Foundation which housed one of the largest collections in the world of Renoir and Cezanne as well as an arboretum.

Ms. Camp was President of the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit, the largest African American museum in the country. She led the museum through its administrative transition into its new facility, as well as development of museum policies and procedures, infrastructure, programming and exhibitions. 

Camp was also the founding Director of The Smithsonian Experimental Gallery, an initiative of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Museums. The Gallery focused on exhibition experiments in presentation, design, interpretation, access and development process. She also served as a Program Director for the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, for Art in Education and Minority Arts Services.

Camp’s work has included consulting with nonprofit organizations. An entrepreneurial leader, she has focused on the creation of new museum projects and turning around museums in peril.

As an artist, Ms. Camp has been the honored recipient of numerous awards including two National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships, and the Kellogg National Leadership Program Fellowship. Born in Camden, New Jersey, she graduated from the University of Pittsburgh, with a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Arts and Art History. She received her Master of Science degree in Arts Administration from Drexel University in Philadelphia.
