Art Careers

Learn what it's like to work in the arts and meet the professionals who work with Durham University’s art collection. This is an opportunity to hear what an Art Curator does, and how to pursue a career in a museum or gallery. 

This session can be taught: 

• as a one-hour outreach session in your school 
• as a one-hour online session

The content of these sessions does vary, but we try to keep them as similar as possible.
