The CCL seeks curators who are currently employed at American art museums where they are charged with the care, display, and interpretation of objects as well as the organization of temporary exhibitions. Nominations will be sought from museum directors and administrators across the country, but self-nominations are also strongly encouraged.

Applicants should be proven scholars and leaders in their field. They should also have demonstrated some leadership initiative, either in their museums or in other aspects of their lives (e.g., community service, board service, etc.).

Applications will be reviewed by the director of the CCL and a small committee of current and former museum directors.

The first two-week session will meet in New York City from January 5-16, 2009. The one-week residency will take place approximately two months later at a time mutually agreeable to the fellow and the host/director. The final week will take place in June 2009.

Deadline for applications is July 18, 2008.

The CCL will absorb the cost of tuition, travel, and accommodation for the fellows.
