Art Curator

Art Curators identify and recommend art pieces, artefacts, and display material for acquisition by galleries and museums. They may organise the purchase of local artworks to add to the gallery’s permanent collection, arrange exhibitions for key artists, or negotiate the loan of a signature piece (or genre collection) from another gallery. In larger galleries they may work under the supervision of a senior curator.

As an Art Curator you could be researching the suitability of proposed collection pieces, arranging for restoration work on an important artefact, planning the layout and lighting for an upcoming exhibition, delivering a public lecture at an exhibition opening event, collaborating with a group of artists in a complimentary genre, or updating the gallery database and records system.
