Next Up is the Studio Museum in Harlem’s very own career day. The program will provide insight into the Studio Museum Institute, a suite of programs that reflects the Museum's vision and commitment to training and mentoring leaders in the art world from historically underrepresented backgrounds. Next Up is designed for early-career professionals and students interested in exploring diverse career opportunities within the museum industry.

This event will feature dynamic panels of museum staff from a variety of departments—including Curatorial, Education, Finance, Visitor Experience, and more—who will share insights into their career paths, day-to-day responsibilities, and advice for getting started in the field.

Whether you're considering internships, graduate programs, or your first full-time role, this is a great opportunity to ask questions, make connections in the field, and learn what it takes to build a meaningful career and community within museums.

Refreshments and light snacks will be provided as part of this program.
