The two-year Master of Arts degree in Curatorial Practice (CP) focuses on professional training, with a thorough grounding in history, research, and theory. Merit-based partial tuition scholarships are available, as are partial matching funds for outside scholarships and limited research assistantships. Hands-on work with experts in the field, professional networking, and the foremost goal of placing graduates in curatorial jobs are at the heart of the program. Based in Chelsea, CP takes full advantage of New York's arts institutions and professionals, providing countless prospects for study, mentoring, and professional development. Our faculty work in major New York institutions, while visiting international curators, museum and gallery professionals, and artists engage with us on a weekly basis. Building a global network of professional connections is an integral part of the program.
Program
The curriculum is founded on a series of practicums in every aspect of exhibition-making and other forms of knowledge production and presentation, case-study seminars, writing workshops, and programmatic engagements with professionals who meet with the students as a group and individually. Specialized training in research methodologies initiates the program, while second-year students enter into mentorship and internship programs, graduating after completion of a final curatorial project. CP final projects are exhibited in New York art spaces, open to the public, and online. Internships take place with New York, national, and international institutional partners. Students have the enormous resources at their disposal of more than twenty graduate programs at SVA to draw work and collaborators from, as well as the vast facilities of the school that include studios, workshops, galleries, laboratories, and libraries. New York's art, design, film, and performance worlds are all around us.
