2009 Windgate Museum Intership Awards
Over the past four years, seventeen undergraduate and graduate students have received Windgate Museum Internships, assisting curators in the area of craft collections and exhibitions. Museums that have received Windgate interns include The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, the Fuller Craft Museum, The San Francisco Museum of Craft and Design, The Leigh Yawkey Woodson Museum, The Bellevue Art Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. The goal of this program is to provide these future curators with a better understanding and appreciation of craft objects and their makers. Museums receive $5,000 designated for salary for the intern during the internship. CCCD disseminates the opportunity throughout the country and each Museum curator selects the intern. |
