They're the ones who are always keeping a close eye on all the art exhibits. But now, a team of museum guards have a chance to become guest curators.
A new exhibit at the Baltimore Museum of Art, which is scheduled to open in March 2022, will be curated entirely by security officers who work in the museum.
The new "Guarding the Art" exhibition will be fully curated by 17 members of the museum's security team and will draw from current works of art in the BMA's collection, with each work selected by one of the participating officers.

Nice concept. It's art, so this is a kind of art project in and of itself.
Sadly, the usuall suspects had to take what is a nice project of actual humanity and the kind of real inclusion Art can bring and turn it into an opportunity to demand more racial division by diversity and "equity"... as well a the usual "you added grape jellly, how dare you not give a raise to the people who sweep the floors!" kind of logic.
I was a little surprised and a lot disappointed that the writer of the article had to work so hard to stuff in the SJW nonsense after the managed to write an excellent article in the first half, until I noticed it was an NPR/MPR article and realized it wouldn't have made it past the editors if it hadn't been included.
