 The Graduate Program in Curatorial Practice at California College of
the
Arts in San Francisco offers an expanded perspective on curating
contemporary art and culture. Alongside traditional forms of exhibition
making, this two-year master’s degree program emphasizes artist-led
initiatives, public art projects, site-specific commissions, and other such
experimental endeavors that have had a momentous impact in the last
half-century. The program is distinguished by an international,
interdisciplinary perspective, and it reflects San Francisco’s unique
location and culture by placing a particular importance on the study of
curatorial and artistic practices in Asia and Latin America. Our graduates
have gone on to successful careers in the fields of independent curating,
museums, galleries, public art agencies, and arts publishing.

The program was established in 2003 by the curators Kate Fowle and Ralph
Rugoff. It provides practical training in curating and organizing
exhibitions as well as rigorous study in the history of the discipline,
modern and contemporary art history, theory, and criticism. Close, ongoing
partnerships with outside organizations (such as SFMOMA and the CCA Wattis
Institute for Contemporary Arts) bring students into direct contact with
artworks, archival materials, and artists, and allow them to engage in
original research and collaborative projects. CCA offers many opportunities
for interdisciplinary exchange, and we privilege collective forms of
practice. The program also organizes numerous exhibitions, lectures, and
symposia.

Our core faculty members include curators, art historians, and other art
professionals from prominent Bay Area institutions. More than 200 curators,
critics, scholars, and artists from around the world have taught courses
here since the program was launched.

** NEWS: CURATORIAL PRACTICE WITH A CONCENTRATION IN ARCHITECTURE or DESIGN*
CCA has extremely strong graduate programs in Architecture and Design, and
students interested in pursuing curatorial avenues in either field can now
apply for an MA in Curatorial Practice with a concentration in one or the
other. The curriculum combines core courses in Curatorial Practice with a
selection of theory and practice courses (including possibly a written
thesis) in the second discipline. Applicants who wish to pursue this should
indicate their interest in the personal statement that accompanies the
application.

*101 WATTIS CURATORIAL FELLOWSHIP*
The Graduate Program in Curatorial Practice, in collaboration with the CCA
Wattis Institute and the 101/Artnow Collection, supports one paid,
nine-month, postgraduate curatorial research fellowship each year. In
addition to regular curatorial duties at the CCA Wattis Institute, each
fellow organizes an exhibition of works from the 101 Collection and proposes
works for acquisition. This multiyear commitment on the part of the 101
Collection recognizes the importance of offering young curators professional
opportunities as well as our program’s dual emphasis on academic knowledge
and practical experience.

*QUALIFICATIONS FOR ADMISSION (deadline: January 5, 2011)*
• Undergraduate degree in the history of art, fine art, or other appropriate
area of the humanities or social sciences
• Relevant practical experience in the visual arts and a demonstrated
commitment to curating
