2025 RECIPIENT - Milwaukee Art Museum's Knowledge Management Team

The team’s (Heather Winter, Beret Balestrieri Kohn, Cleber Bonato, Frank Foss, Olivia Camacho and Anthony Morgano) work over the past 5+ years has truly been transformative as they’ve worked on the capture, cataloging, care, and circulation of the Milwaukee Art Museum’s rich archival and research holdings to facilitate deeper understanding of the history of the Museum and its collections. Many museums, collections, archived materials and other works often are not on display due to limited space and the Knowledge Management Team has worked to change that by taking their program to a place where they now manage and deliver collective knowledge about art, art history, and the Museum both onsite and online, in support of research, connectivity, efficiency, creativity, and inspiration.
