Advice on starting a career in art curation now (Upcoming Junior in HS)
Sort of a long post! Sorry.
For the past few weeks I have been stressing on
where I want to go in my life, I have a strong love for the arts, I go to an arts school, and I specialize in painting. But the instability of becoming a professional artist is not what I look forward to in my life and would much rather work for someone. Curation sounds like a perfect job for me because I love history and It’s my best education subject in school. I know it is a difficult career to get into but im looking into getting an MFA at Georgia state within five years (I’m planning to major in art education) Is there anyone with experience in this career who have an MFA who can give advice on how to start and what internships to look for now to get a head start? I’m based in Atlanta and I know the high museum is huge here but I’m not sure how hard it is to work there fresh out of college.
