Congratulations you have been hired at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) as one of a small group of student-interns. You will be competing with the other student-interns to curate an exhibition that focuses on a specific theme. You will research artwork in LACMA’s collection and select several pieces of art (paintings or drawings) that relate to a theme of your choosing. After thoroughly researching the artwork in your exhibition you will write a short paper arguing why the museum should choose YOUR thematic exhibition as the one to put on display. You will post the exhibition in a virtual gallery with a summary of your theme for the other interns to see.
