The Department of History of Art has launched a new Graduate Certificate in Contemporary Art and Curatorial Practice.  The certificate is open to graduate students in any discipline or department, and can be completed alongside regular graduate coursework.  The certificate trains graduate students in the theory and practice of curatorial work and exhibitions in art museums, galleries, and other contemporary art exhibition spaces. Focusing both on historical and conceptual research and on practical hands-on experience working in exhibition making, this certificate aims to prepare students for careers in curatorial practice in the arts by augmenting their graduate training in related fields.
