CURATOR IN RESIDENCE

LKG is proud to announce its inaugural Curator in Residence program. The CIR provides young curators the opportunity to work closely with the gallery to create and organize a month-long summer exhibition in the gallery's space. The comprehensive program accepts two
curators each year and provides a complete hands-on experience for the selected applicant to learn the many
facets of the gallery sector in the art business.
