Do you dream of a career in museum curation? Would you love to take a deep dive into the history of the Italian American experience — and shape how it is understood by others?

Then you may be interested in applying for a new opportunity offered by the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF.) The Italian American Museum Fellowship will give three undergraduate students the chance to design an exhibit focused on Italian American history that will be on display at NIAF’s fall gala.

Here’s more from NIAF:

NIAF is looking for three talented students to lead the curation of an Italian American exhibit, using the Foundation’s impressive collection of artifacts and historical materials.

The exhibit will be shown at the Foundation’s 41st Anniversary Gala Weekend, October 14-15, 2016, at the Marriott Wardman Park, in Washington, D.C.
