Opportunities

Institute students are encouraged to be enterprising and imaginative, using their initiative to gain valuable experience and build contacts in the world of art and art history.

The Great Hall Exhibitions

The Institute’s magnificent entry hall is the setting for two exhibitions each year. Students collaborate with leading artists, galleries, and collectors to bring major works of contemporary art to the center of the Institute’s academic home and community.
