The Gallery offers UW students opportunities to work at the Jacob Lawrence Gallery through two unique program programs: the BIPOC Graduate Student Curatorial Fellowship and Student Assistantships.
BIPOC Graduate Student Curatorial Fellowship
Jacob Lawrence Gallery annually supports a BIPOC graduate student from the University of Washington for a curatorial fellowship. The fellowship provides support for an exhibition developed by a graduate student by offering them an $800 curatorial fee and a $1,200 budget toward artist fees. The fellow receives support from the gallery’s Director + Curator, as well as two curatorial interns, during installation and deinstallation of the exhibition.
Past Recipients

- 2019: Juan Franco Ricardo curated Angélica Maria Millán Lozano + Camilo Godoy: Lugar del Trabajo
Internships
The Jacob Lawrence Gallery offers paid internships to students of the University of Washington School of Art + Art History + Design. Interns learn about installing and deinstalling exhibitions, curatorial methodologies, and interfacing with visitors to the gallery. We accept applications for fall, winter, spring, and summer quarters. Students are encouraged to take the summer class ART 496 (Curating Contemporary Art, a Jacob Lawrence Gallery Practicum) prior to applying for an internship. To apply, please email jacoblawrencegallery@uw.edu.
