ArtsHub recently spoke to six curators across three states about why they loved their jobs. We wanted to take that conversation further, so we asked them how they landed their first curatorial position.
Unsurprisingly, most of them started off volunteering before stepping into professional roles. The curatorial field is specialised and competitive, but it is also one of those career pathways that is designed to allow fresh talent to bubble up, and emerging curators to then step into mid-career roles.
