THE ALDRICH
The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum is a non-collecting museum of contemporary art located in Ridgefield Connecticut, USA. Founded in 1964, today's Aldrich Museum serves as not only a viewing place for contemporary art, but also a venue where art, education, and culture converge to expand traditional ways of thinking. It is suggested that potential applicants should first explore The Aldrich's Web site to gain a greater understanding of the Museum, its mission, and its programs: http://www.aldrichart.org/
OUR MISSION
It is the mission of The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum to be a national leader in the exhibition of significant and challenging contemporary art with an emphasis on emerging and mid-career artists, a world-class innovator of museum education programs, and a vital cultural resource for our community.
THE PROGRAM
The Hall Curatorial Fellowship program is intended to offer an exceptional opportunity to an international curator to gain curatorial experience in a United States museum setting, and to support the professional development of curators. In order to bring an international perspective to the Museum's curatorial practice, the Hall Fellow will be primarily responsible for curating an original exhibition in keeping with the Museum's mission, overseeing its installation at The Aldrich, and the development of appropriate complementary cultural and educational programs. The Hall Curatorial Fellowship program is NOT a residency program.
