Emelie Gevalt is Curator of Folk Art at the American Folk Art Museum in New York City and is pursuing her doctorate in American art history at the University of Delaware.

Gevalt received her BA in art history and theater studies from Yale University and her MA from the Winterthur Program in American Material Culture. She has previously held positions at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and at Christie’s, New York.
