Breaking down the extensive process of sourcing art
I’ve always liked art museums and drawing, and I assumed I would pursue research-based work, like curatorial or other research-heavy positions. I changed directions in undergrad, after interning in museums and in the gallery where I currently work. I realized I enjoy hands-on work that involves all types of art, as opposed to whatever specific art period or style I would have to lock myself into if I chose a career in research or art history. That’s how I ended up working as administrative support at Central Galleries in Cedarhurst, NY. My job includes, but is not limited to, framing art, customer interaction, and working on the blog and website.
