Canal Projects Curatorial FellowshipSalary transparent

We are Guggenheim, a global constellation of museums unlike any other in the world. Four museums on three continents, united by the power of groundbreaking art to connect us to ourselves and to each other. Since our founding in 1937, the Guggenheim has introduced, celebrated and brought to the public the newest voices and visions in modern and contemporary art. When Solomon R. Guggenheim and Hilla Rebay set out to share the joy they first experienced in discovering experimental art, they initiated the creative risk-taking that is today synonymous with “Guggenheim” throughout the world. Across the globe, each Guggenheim stands not just as a backdrop for visionary art but as masterpieces in and of themselves to experience.

The Canal Projects Curatorial Fellow will assist senior curatorial staff in all activities pertaining to the Guggenheim’s curatorial program, including work in support of research, exhibitions, publications, acquisitions, public and digital programs, and other general curatorial functions. Working under the guidance of the Curator, Asian Art Initiative and Head, Global Exhibitions Initiative, the Curatorial Fellow will also participate in the ongoing activities of the Asian Art Initiative.

Rooted in shared values of cultural stewardship and mentorship for art professionals, the fellowship reflects the Guggenheim’s and Canal Projects’ commitment to furthering the future of art through research, education, and public engagement.
