Teen Curators

Teen Curators at the Hill Art Foundation is a free, in-person program for rising high school juniors and seniors that offers a unique opportunity to study with a variety of curators, art historians, contemporary artists, and museum educators, right in the heart of Chelsea.

Teen Curators gain an understanding of art history, exhibition-making and research practice, as well as the vast career opportunities available in the fields of curation, collections care, museum management and museum education.

Teen Curators culminates with participants presenting their curatorial ideas with the larger arts community, at the Foundation and on our website. This is a paid learning opportunity and all participants will receive a stipend upon completion of the program. 

2023-2024 application is now open. Apply here.
