Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma is seeking applicants for a one year 2017-18 Samuel H. Kress Art Museum Fellowship. The purpose of the Kress Interpretive Fellowship at Art Museums program is to provide a new kind of mentored professional development opportunity within American art museums. The program is intended to encourage students to explore interpretive careers in art museums, whether as future museum educators or curators; to strengthen the profession of museum educator within the art museum community; to strengthen ties between museum educators and curators in the shared task of interpretive programming in art museums; and to expand the range of promising career options available to students of art history and related fields.

The fellow will work directly with an interdepartmental team of educators and curators in the development, administration, and evaluation of interpretive materials for an upcoming special exhibition, Museum Confidential (October 2017-May 2018), as well as a portion of the 2018 reinstallation of the Philbrook permanent collection. The Fellow will be engaged in hands-on interpretive practices and will be coached and mentored to identify, apply, and adapt the best practices in the field. The Fellow will also have the opportunity to be part of Philbrook’s development of an institutional interpretive plan, a process begun in 2016 and scheduled for completion in 2018, and to experience first-hand how an institutional interpretive plan can inform the practical application of interpretive strategies in an exhibition and permanent collection installations.

Set within a twenty-five acre site three miles from downtown Tulsa, Philbrook’s main campus is a unique combination of historic house, modern museum complex, and beautifully landscaped property. In 2013, the Museum expanded with the opening of Philbrook Downtown—a 30,000-square-foot satellite facility located in the heart of the vibrant Brady Arts District. Distinguished by nationally recognized collections, facilities, and gardens, Philbrook is the premier cultural institution in the city of Tulsa and a statewide leader in the cultural life of Oklahoma.
