Seattle Art Museum

The Seattle Art Museum will expand its emerging arts leader internship program, a paid internship program dedicated to supporting and advancing early career individuals with backgrounds underrepresented in the museum field. More than 40 people will participate in the program, which will include enrichment trainings and ongoing mentorship with a museum staff member. The museum will hire a staff person to coordinate the internship program. The project also includes development of training and resource materials on equitable recruitment and hiring practices, targeted to museum staff with those responsibilities. The project will create a pathway to museum careers for individuals who are underrepresented in the field, increasing the diversity of staff employed by the museum.
