Fellowships

The August Wilson African American Cultural Center Fellowship Program is a prestigious opportunity designed for emerging professionals in the arts. The program aims to provide hands-on experience in developing and promoting exhibitions and programs that highlight African American culture. Over the course of a year, Fellows will gain valuable experience in a fast-paced, professional nonprofit arts environment, solving real-time workplace dilemmas, honing project management skills, and participating in strategic planning. They will also benefit from robust networking opportunities, including introductions to colleagues in Pittsburgh and nationwide.

For 2025, the program will offer a Curatorial Fellowship and a Marketing and Communications Fellowship. As a curatorial fellow, you will engage in various aspects of curatorial practice, including research, budgeting, writing and exhibition planning. As a marketing fellow you will develop and implement audience engagement initiatives and marketing strategies to tell the story of the August Wilson African American Cultural Center.
