Tanya Sheehan, the Ellerton M. and Edith K. Jetté Professor of Art, has finished 10 years as executive editor of the Smithsonian Institution’s Archives of American Art Journal. The journal is the longest-running scholarly periodical dedicated to the history of art in the United States, and Sheehan has been the driving force behind its transformation into a first-rank research periodical. “She cultivated and strategically leveraged an enviable professional network, reaching out each year to hundreds of scholars across related fields and disciplines to identify and solicit contributions,” said Liza Kirwin, interim director of the Smithsonian Libraries and Archives. “Tanya also redefined the structure of the journal by introducing new sections for shorter, commissioned contributions from artists and curators. These additions brought fresh voices and diverse perspectives, broadening the journal’s reach and appeal.” The journal has also won several design awards during Sheehan’s time as editor.
