Career

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) announces a search for candidates for the Wallis Annenberg Curatorial Fellowship.

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)is accepting applications for the Wallis Annenberg Curatorial Fellowship. This two-year fellowship in the museum’s Latin American Art department will provide general curatorial training, support scholarly research on the permanent collection, and engage the Fellow in the organization of an international traveling exhibition on the connection of Asia and Latin America in the early modern period.

Reporting to the Curator and Department Head of Latin American Art, the Wallis Annenberg Curatorial Fellow will have particular areas of focus in Spanish American/viceregal art and early modern art (with knowledge of Asian art and assets but not required). Striving to combine the strengths of academic art history and the art museum, this Fellowship is designed to attract exceptional emerging scholars to the curatorial field.

The Annenberg Curatorial Fellowship supports the highest level of professional development, with opportunities to be fully integrated into all aspects of curatorial work, gain experience in research and cataloguing, exhibition organization, education and publications, acquisitions, conservation, public speaking, and fundraising.

The ultimate goal of the Fellowship is to engage the Fellow on all aspects associated with organizing a major international exhibition and achieve a deep understanding of the variety of skills needed to succeed as a curator in an encyclopedic museum; to hone those skills through the mentorship of the department and cross-departmental collaborators; and finally, to be able to confidently apply those skills to a future career as a museum professional.
