CCL/MoMA International Curatorial Institute
The CCL/MoMA International Curatorial Institute brings together international art curators to convene with MoMA curators for a two-week intensive at the museum.
For modern and contemporary art curators outside of the U.S.
Since 2014, the Center for Curatorial Leadership and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) have partnered to deliver the International Curatorial Institute. A cohort of exceptional modern and contemporary art curators from outside of the United States convene with select MoMA curators for a two-week intensive hosted at the museum. Building upon CCL’s success in training the next generation of museum leaders and expanding on MoMA’s long history of international exchange, the International Curatorial Institute aims to cultivate a global network of collaborative curators and to enrich participants’ capacity to tackle strategic issues facing 21st-century museums.
Applications are by invitation only, with curators selected by the MoMA International Program in conversation with CCL.
