Institute of Contemporary Art

The Curatorial and Development SHIP position affords students the opportunity to get hands-on experience working closely with the ICA Curatorial and Development teams conducting research related to current and upcoming projects as well as ongoing administrative tasks. The primary projects this summer will be assisting the Curatorial Department with research and organization for the ICA exhibition archive and assisting the Development Department with research related to current and upcoming grants in support of exhibitions and programs.

This is an excellent opportunity to gain experience in the vibrant and fast-paced world of contemporary art. Students will have a unique opportunity to gain professional experience at an internationally acclaimed contemporary art museum working closely with a world-class curatorial team. Responsibilities vary widely presenting a fellow with many challenging, invigorating, and rewarding experiences. There is never a dull moment at the ICA. General knowledge of Adobe Suite is preferred but not necessary. While the ICA prioritizes an in-person fellowship, a hybrid option is possible.

The ICA summer SHIP will report to the ICA Director of Curatorial Affairs and the Assistant Director for Development Communications and Events.
