Jane Oneail - Exploring the Isabella Stewart Gardner Art Museum

Jane Oneail (pronounced OH-neel) is the founder of Culturally Curious, an arts education consulting firm specializing in art appreciation programs. She curates and delivers programs throughout New England and beyond. Oneail holds a master’s in art history from Boston University and a master’s in education from Harvard University. Born and raised in New Hampshire, she has worked at some of the state's most esteemed cultural institutions, including the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, where she served as executive director, and the Currier Museum of Art, where she was senior educator. Jane has also taught at the college level for more than a decade, most recently at Southern New Hampshire University.

Jane was leading tours at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston when she first began to appreciate the special magic that happens when people look at art together and share their genuine reactions and questions. "Talking about art requires bravery - you're inherently vulnerable when you share your perspective. There is joy in seeing things in a new way - and in simply shifting gears to appreciate the beauty and poetry of everyday life."

Jane's abilities as a public speaker have also led to work as a speech writer. She has written for a variety of leaders including a Nobel Peace Prize winner, the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar company and the chancellor of a top-tier research university.
