Catherine Javiera Huff is an independent arts educator, curator and community-based arts advocate based in Atlanta and New York. Born and raised in southern Indiana, Huff received her B.A. in Art History from the University of Georgia. She is now receiving a Master of Education with concentrations in art education and community engagement at Columbia University. 

Huff formerly was the Coordinator of Collections and Exhibitions and the Curatorial Assistant of American and European Art at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia. At the High, she was selected to participate in the Andrew W. Mellon Undergraduate Curatorial Summer Academy. Huff was a councilmember on the inaugural Atlanta Beltline Public Art Advisory Council as well as graduate of the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials Institute for Leadership. She has co-created campaigns intersecting art and activism with the National Center for Civil and Human Rights and the New Georgia Project Action Fund. Her interests include public art, community-based arts education, and strategizing the use of art’s instrumental impact on positive social change.

During her undergraduate career at the Dodd, she was a co-chair of the Undergraduate Art History Society and the curatorial research intern in American Art at the Georgia Museum of Art. She also was a museum docent. In 2016, Huff curated a focused exhibition for the Georgia Museum of Art titled Man’s Canyons: New York City on Paper. The show was awarded 2016 Student Project of the Year from the Georgia Association of Museums and Galleries. In Spring of 2017, Huff was awarded the Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities assistantship grant towards independent undergraduate research in art history. Her research, mentored by Dr. Alisa Luxemberg, focused on the evolution of collecting tastes in 19th-century American painting through original research into provenance, market history, exhibition history, and critical reception. She presented this research project, Desires for Difference: Tastes and Collecting of Later Nineteenth-Century American Paintings, at the 16th Annual Georgia Undergraduate Art History Forum as well as the 2017 UGA CURO Research Symposium.
