Allon Schoener was the Assistant Curator and Producer for Discovery and Art in Your Life, a SFMOMA television program. Schoener was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1926 and attended Yale University through the V12 Program (Navy College Training Program) during WWII. He focused on humanities and art history courses and after graduating, returned to Yale where he received an MA in art history after the war. In 1950, Schoener was accepted as a junior curator at the SFMOMA by Dr. Morley, who was the director of the museum from 1935 to 1958. Schoener developed the television program "Art in Your Life" with little help or aid from the museum and went on to pioneer museum television programming to the point where the MoMA in New York developed their own television program. After the SFMOMA, Schoener worked for the Contemporary Art Center at Cincinnati Art Museum as a curator, the Jewish Museum as assistant director, was on the New York State Council on the Arts and worked on "Harlem on My Mind" at the Met. In this interview Schoener discusses his upbringing in Cleveland, time in the Navy, education at Yale, Europe travels, getting his first job at SFMOMA, thoughts on their early exhibits, creating a television show, relationship with KRON, program series, thoughts on artists, “Harlem on My Mind” and the Jewish Museum, work after SFMOMA, and his publications and exhibitions.
