Education at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery

For Teens

FUTURE CURATORS PROGRAM

Future Curators is a weekly after school program for high school students in grades 11 and 12. During the course of the program, students learn about the behind-the-scenes work of a museum curator, and ultimately organize an exhibition of artwork by young local artists.

Under the guidance of the Gallery's Education department, students work with various staff members to gain the knowledge necessary to curate their exhibition. Participants are involved in every aspect of the show, from selecting the artwork from a pool of submissions to writing the interpretive labels and wall text. They will learn to matte, frame, and hang art, as well as plan the opening reception for the exhibition on a Gusto at the Gallery Friday evening.
Fifteen exemplary students were invited to participate in last year's Future Curators program.

We are currently accepting applications for the 2009-2010 team of Future Curators. The deadline for application submission is November 1, 2009. For more information, please contact Anna Jablonski, Program Coordinator at the Education department, at ajablonski@albrightknox.org or 716.270.8254.
