As a curator, one could start as a staff member at a museum in a specialized department, at an art gallery which offers opportunity to become involved in every exhibition or work as an independent curator, which would involve staging exhibitions in galleries and museums. Freelance art curators have to devise specific themes, persuade artists to exhibit, prepare promotional material and negotiate artists’ contracts and payments to galleries.
