About The Alexis Gregory Curatorial Practice Program Residency

This nine-month full-time residency provides advanced museum training that builds on the themes of the Curatorial Practice Program by engaging the CPP Resident in current projects within one of the museum’s curatorial departments. The Resident will participate in a range of activities over the nine-month period. Working closely with curators, conservators, scientific research and design, the Resident will receive mentoring from departmental and CPP leadership, have opportunities for curatorial writing and public speaking, and engage with urgent issues in curatorial practice. In addition to the opportunity to participate in the CPP Seminars, the Resident will be encouraged to lead discussion for one seminar session. The Resident will also be allotted time to work on independent scholarship.

The Resident will participate in the Museum’s Fellowship Program that brings together a community of scholars from diverse fields and different levels of professional advancement. Through a weekly program that includes informal conversations, gallery talks, and departmental visits, fellows meet with Museum curators, conservators, exhibition designers, educators, publishers, collections managers, members of the digital staff, and Museum leadership. Among the brightest minds and most interesting innovators working in museums today, these individuals contribute to an expansive understanding of museum work and offer fellows the chance to establish relationships with their current and future colleagues.
