The MA Curatorial Practice program at the School of Visual Arts, located in the heart of New York City, is now accepting applications for full-time and part-time students. Our two-year master’s degree is based on a fully immersive, hands-on approach to curating that is highly connected to curators from around the world.
The program takes full advantage of New York’s arts institutions (such as the Whitney, MoMA, MoMA PS1, the New Museum, the Guggenheim, the Queens Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, and The Kitchen, and nearby Chelsea’s hundreds of art galleries), while our Curatorial Roundtable brings more than fifty international curators and institution directors to the program for seminars—meetings that have turned into internships and placed well-trained graduates in curatorial jobs.
In addition to courses and workshops in history, philosophy, theory, professional practices, and writing, our summer internships at leading institutions all over the world immerse students in contemporary art’s global conversation. Between the two years of the program, students visit a major European exhibition (such as documenta, the Venice Biennale, Berlin Biennale, and Manifesta) and graduating students will have completed at least three exhibitions or curatorial projects in public spaces in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Our faculty and faculty at large include leading national and international curatorial practitioners, historians, and theorists, including Chrissie Iles, Charles Renfro, Noam Segal, Thierry de Duve, Mirene Arsanios, Hou Hanru, Ivy Blackman, Alvaro Rodriguez Fominaya, Laurel Ptak, Christian Nyampeta, Maria Lind, Domenick Ammirati, Terry Smith, Sofia Hernandez Chong Cuy, David A. Ross, Clémentine Deliss, Mick Wilson, Sara Reisman, Roddy Schrock, Daniel Kunitz, Brian Kuan Wood, who is also director of research in the program, and Steven Henry Madoff, MA Curatorial Practice program chair.
The costs of the program are highly competitive with other US institutions in the field, and we offer several limited support grants. We seek diversity of every kind in the program. If you are interested in further information, you may contact us at +1 212 592 2274 or by email at macp@sva.edu.
