Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Through a collaborative learning model, three emerging curators?fellows?will gain new skills and understanding through five practical, philosophical and process-driven learning methods of curation. All three participants will indicate advancing their understanding of curation and gain the resources, knowledge and confidence to continue this work beyond the program. The Emerging Curator's Institute (ECI) will collect data on the fellows' curatorial growth by measuring the number and variety of educational materials, exhibition site-visits, mentorship meetings, and guest curator dialogues, they engage with over the course of their fellowship. ECI will also assign the fellows a pre-, mid- and post-fellowship open question self-assessment survey to determine their increase in curatorial skills and understanding. This survey will be developed with guidance from program mentors.

Measurable Outcome(s)

In the post-fellowship surveys we quantified fellows' learning through a variety of questions?two successes came forward. One: averaging all statements about their learnings in the program?on a scale of 0 to 4?the ECI program received 3.5 out of 4. Two: in relation to the question ? ?ECI supported diversity, equity, and inclusion in its programming? the results were higher at 3.7 out of 4.
