Art Curatorship Internship

The aim of the Art Curatorship Internship is to introduce students, through a practical placement in a public or private sector work environment (art museum or gallery, heritage organisation, corporate collection, government department, etc.), to a range of issues relating to contemporary curatorial practice. The placement will enable students to apply in a practical environment skills developed in the core Master of Art Curatorship units.

Students will be allocated both an academic and host organisation supervisor under whose direction they will devise a relevant practical project consonant both with the host's requirements and the student's interests and experience. Projects undertaken can range over a variety of tasks, such as cataloguing a collection; assisting with setting up an exhibition; conducting a stock take; researching a collection for conservation or curatorial outcomes; or dealing with the media or general public.
