The UC Merced Speaker Series for Careers in the Arts & Media brings to UC Merced a diverse group of arts professionals to share with our students their rich experiences, career paths, and life lessons. Each speaker will give a 40-minute presentation on their professional paths, exciting projects, and challenges, to be followed by a 30-minute Q&A. We hope to inspire and encourage our students to explore more varied and expansive career possibilities and opportunities.

On Friday, October 6, 2023, Kathy Wong, the Director of Business Development, Fine Arts at Bonham, based in Los Angeles, is our key speaker at the Coats Speaker Series on Careers in the Arts & Media. Her talk will occur at the Conference Center, Room 110, at 4:30 pm at UC Merced. She provides sales advisory and develops consignment opportunities for the Fine Arts departments on the West Coast. Since 2004, Kathy has worked as a Specialist at the international and regional auction levels on the East and West coasts, including Bonhams' recent acquisition, Skinner. She joined Bonhams in 2015 and has been a Specialist and Cataloguer in Impressionist and Modern Art, California Art, American Art, and Western Art.
