AUC Art Collective + IFPDA Internship Program

The Atlanta University Center Art History + Curatorial Studies Collective prepares undergraduate students for careers in the visual arts. The collective is comprised of three schools --- Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse, and Spelman College --- united by the world’s oldest and largest association of historically black colleges and universities and a shared vision that innovation + art = change. The IFPDA has partnered with the AUC Art Collective to develop a professional internship program which launched in the summer of 2022 with a student from Spelman College who received an internship at BORCH Editions and Gallery in Berlin and Copenhagen.
