ARHT6923: Capstone Art Curating Placement
2024 unit information
The Capstone professional placement offers an invaluable opportunity to gain hands on experience in one of the University of Sydney’s many institutional partners. Students undertake a 20-day internship, focused on a specific aspect of arts or curatorial professional practice. Internships invite critical reflection on practice, foster skill acquisition, and enhance employment prospects. Projects encourage reflection on the relationship between theory and practice which is synthesized in a major essay. Partner organisations include public and commercial galleries, libraries, and archives as well as Artist Run Initiatives, auction houses and dealers, peak body organisations and festivals.
