The Summer Academy is a weeklong intensive program exposing undergraduate students to museum professions through workshops, behind-the-scenes tours, field trips, and networking events. Upon completion of the Summer Academy, participants have the opportunity to apply for a two-year curatorial fellowship. The Summer Academy will be held June 17-24, 2018. 

Established in 2013, the Andrew W. Mellon Summer Academy and Undergraduate Curatorial Fellowship Program provides specialized training for students from groups historically underrepresented in the curatorial field and those who support the goal of promoting inclusive, pluralistic museums. With generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Art Institute is thrilled to announce the five-year renewal of this grant program.
