The Decorative Arts Trust is accepting applications for a
two-year challenge grant of $17,500 per year in sponsorship of a
curatorial internship.  The Trust’s Curatorial Internship Grant provides
critical employment opportunities for emerging museum professionals at
qualified institutions.  The intern will receive from the Trust an
additional $2,500 in funding per year to offset the cost of travel related
to research and professional development programs. Potential museum and
historical society collaborators should apply by September 30, 2018. The
application packet must consist of a formal letter of interest describing
the nature of the project(s) in which the intern will be involved during
the two-year period and identifying the staff member who will supervise and
mentor the intern; the supervisor’s CV; pertinent background information
related to particular initiatives, exhibitions, or research related to
the intern’s planned projects; and a statement of how the institution plans
to raise the $35,000 in matching funding over two years.  A draft of a job
description is strongly encouraged.  Please note that mentorship is a
significant consideration in this program.  The Trust's selection will be
announced by October 31, with grant funds available as early as January 1,
2019.
