Center for Curatorial Leadership

The art museum director today must have many different talents-traditional curatorial expertise must be complemented by proven ability as an administrator, manager, and fundraiser. The mandate of the CCL is to identify within the curatorial ranks individuals who have the potential to become leaders, and to help them shape themselves into curators who not only take charge of the art in their care, but who are also capable of assuming the responsibilities essential to directing a museum. The CCL is premised on the conviction that there need be no contradiction between these two sets of obligations-indeed, that there must not be.
