Ross Stanton Jordan is a curator interested in the confluence of politics, visual culture, and artistic production. He holds a Studio Arts degree from Connecticut College and dual Master's degrees in Art History and Arts Administration and Policy from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Jordan has made himself a vital presence in Chicago’s art community, curating dozens of independent and organizationally supported exhibitions and public programs. Jordan is the curator at the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum, Chicago’s dynamic monument to democracy. At the museum and independently, he has produced dozens of exhibitions and one hundred public programs that connect the social justice issues of the past to the present-day demands for social equity via collaborations with artists, scholars, and community-based organizations.


Jordan was a 12-month intern in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at MoMA where he contributed to MoMA’s first blog Inside/Out and provided research support for exhibitions, including Lee Bontecou: All Freedom in Every Sense (2010), Diego Rivera: Murals for The Museum of Modern Art (2011) and Abstract Expressionist New York (2012). He has held curatorial fellowships at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs, Independent Curators International, and the American Association of Museums. In 2022, Newcity Magazine named Jordan one of the top 50 Chicago arts administrators working to make a more equitable and sustainable arts world. In 2024, The Chicago Tribune named Jordan, along with his colleagues at Hull-House, Chicagoans of the Year in Museums.
