About Dan Jacobs Associates

As principal of DJA, I bring extensive and diverse experience of curatorial, strategic and management in museums and related organizations. I’ve managed complex museum exhibitions, capital projects, and program development, including 13 years at the University of Denver, where I drove rapid growth in visual art exhibitions and collecting. I founded DU’s  innovative art study center and cultivated multi-million dollar philanthropic relationships to support art collections activation. Now I work with institutions and private clients, teaming up with with multiple partners to consult in these areas:

  • Museum planning and selected curatorial projects

  • Art collection legacy planning and acquisition research

An art history graduate of Harvard College, I hold an M.A. in Art History from the University of Colorado, Boulder. Shortly after receiving my MBA from the University of California, Los Angeles, I worked for two years at McKinsey & Company, where I provided data analytical support for engagements with Fortune 500 clients.
