The Art Institute of Chicago is offering an Andrew W. Mellon Summer Academy and Undergraduate Curatorial Fellowships.

Students in history and art history at Northern Illinois University may want to apply for these opportunities.

The  Art Institute of Chicago’s posting reads:

“The Andrew W. Mellon Summer Academy and Undergraduate Curatorial Fellowship Program provides specialized training for students across the United States from groups historically underrepresented in the curatorial field or those who support the goal of promoting inclusive, pluralistic museums. The program seeks to make a critical impact on American art museums by developing gifted curators who will work to engage a full spectrum of museum audiences. After completing the Summer Academy, participants will have the opportunity to submit supplemental materials to be considered for a fellowship.”

For more information, see the Art Institute of Chicago’s website.

The deadline is 28 February 2016.
