Plenty of people want to work in museums and few know how curators actually spend their days. At the Studio Museum in Harlem, a member of the curatorial team walks through the early-career path and daily responsibilities, then leads a workshop on curating as care. It is tied to the Studio Museum Institute's mentoring of underrepresented art-world leaders. If you are weighing internships or grad school, go.
