Former Museum Curator Returns to Orange County
Tyler Stallings, former curator at Laguna Art Museum, returns to Orange County professionally as the first full-time gallery director at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa.
Stallings will serve as director of the Doyle Arts Pavilion, a 3,400-square-foot gallery that includes exhibition space and a project gallery, and hosts several shows each year.
In recent years, he’s held similar management roles at UC Riverside’s museum and galleries. Prior to that, Stallings was the chief curator at the Laguna Art Museum and was director of programs at the Huntington Beach Art Center.
“The first show I’m working on will feature artists whose work involves the intersection of astronomy and art [that will] coincide with the grand opening of [OCC’s] Planetarium in the fall,” Stallings said in a statement.
