Philadelphia Museum of Art Summer Curatorial Internships - deadline in one week!

My name is Victoria Fletcher, and I am writing to be in touch about the Mellon Undergraduate Curatorial Fellowship Program at the Philadelphia Museum of Art—a unique and wonderful opportunity for undergraduate students. We will host another Summer Academy in June 2020.

This one-week immersion program is designed to provide a rich experience in the museum environment and expose the participants to career options related to art and art history, with an emphasis on the curatorial field. Each Summer Academy includes workshops, tours, field trips, and networking events with museum professionals. Among other eligibility requirements, the program is intended specifically for undergraduate students from historically underrepresented groups in the curatorial field and who, if selected as a fellow, can commit to two years in the program prior to graduating. Fifteen students will be selected to participate in the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s 2020 Summer Academy during the week of June 14–21.

I’ve attached here a PDF of our program one-pager, which gives a good overview of the opportunity as well as how to find our website and apply. Please feel free to forward this to any students who may be interested.

Applications are due by Friday, February 28, 2020. Thank you so much for your time, and please be in touch with any questions.

Best regards,
Victoria
