Studio Museum in Harlem

The Studio Museum in Harlem will create a collection digitization fellowship program with the dual goal of hiring and training an artist in the handling and reproduction of works of art and creating a digital record and database for the 1758 works of art representing 500 artists in the permanent collection. The fellow will collaborate with museum staff to digitize negatives, prints, transparences, and slides, as well as create and update catalog records in the database. The fellow will also be trained in the moving and handling of works of art, including matting, hinging, framing, mounting, art packing, unpacking, and crating. The project will result in greater access to the collections for the museum's staff and visitors while providing advanced training for an artist working in the museum profession.
