The program’s collaborations with the Swiss Institute, Independent Curators International, Residency Unlimited, Triangle Workshop, artinfo.com, and other international institutions lead directly to exhibitions and publications that students add to their professional CVs. Past students have held internships at MoMA, MoMA PS1, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Kitchen, Walker Art Center, SALT in Istanbul, NTU Centre for Contemporary Art in Singapore, and many other leading museums, art centers, and commercial galleries.
SVA’s Curatorial Practice Program trains curators with a hands-on approach. Students work directly with leading curators, making exhibitions and other curatorial ventures, delving into history and theory while doing thorough practical training in curatorial practice. The program’s space, designed by renowned architect and faculty member Charles Renfro of Diller Scofidio + Renfro, in association with Leong Leong, hosts academic courses, panel discussions, exhibitions, performances, and other events.
