Feldman holds a master’s degree in museum studies from George Washington University and a bachelor’s from the University of Texas at El Paso. Formerly a museum technician at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., Feldman also has completed internships in education at the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., and the El Paso Centennial Museum and an internship in administration at the National Trust for Historic Preservation in Washington, D.C.
Hinton recently worked at the Georgia Museum of Art as curatorial assistant to the director before being appointed curator of education.

As curator of education, Hinton will create and maintain the education programs and act as liaison with UGA faculty, staff and students to promote museum symposia, lectures, events, exhibitions and resources.

Hinton earned a bachelor’s degree from Mississippi State University and a master of fine arts degree with a concentration in drawing and painting from UGA. She has completed all but the dissertation toward a Ph.D. degree in 20th-century art at UGA.
In addition to volunteering with art associations, art centers, schools and other community organizations, Hinton has worked in galleries, shown paintings and works on paper and was co-owner of the Old Quarter Gallery in New Orleans.
Manoguerra, who began work as curator of American art at the museum in July, recently completed his Ph.D. in American studies at Michigan State University.

Paul Manoguerra

He received a bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Notre Dame and a master’s degree in museum studies from George Washington University, where he combined the curatorial and administrative aspects of museums with coursework in an interdisciplinary concentration of art history and history.
Prior to coming to the Georgia Museum of Art, Manoguerra was assistant to the director of Michigan State University’s museum studies program where he also served as a graduate assistant at the Kresge Art Museum. He taught courses at Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo College.
