Employer Overview & Site Visit Information

Company Overview: America’s First Museum of Modern Art. Founded by art collector and philanthropist Duncan Phillips in 1921, The Phillips Collection has been collecting groundbreaking works of modern and contemporary art for one hundred years. Duncan Phillips’s former home—and modern additions to it—in Washington’s historic Dupont Circle neighborhood provides a unique setting for the collection’s nearly 6,000 works. Following Phillips’s unconventional approach to exhibitions, The Phillips Collection galleries are frequently rearranged to facilitate new conversations between artworks and fresh experiences for visitors.In addition to presenting selections from the permanent collection and special exhibitions, The Phillips Collection also offers award-winning education and community engagement programs for audiences of all ages and backgrounds, including initiatives through its major partnership with the University of Maryland and at its satellite campus Phillips@THEARC.

Site Visit Agenda: The Phillips Collection’s robust and competitive paid internship program and Sherman Fairchild Fellowship Program provides critical support for the museum’s exhibitions and programming. Participants play a vital role in the museum’s work while gaining first-hand experience and mentorship in many aspects of arts and non-profit administration. In addition to working directly with staff in their departments, participants have the opportunity to connect with their peers and other museum staff during lunchtime sessions, staff meetings, and museum programs. The programs serves as a pipeline of future museum professionals from underrepresented populations and others who have experienced barriers to entry in the field. These unique opportunities make the pathway to museum employment more accessible to students as they pursue a career in the museum field. It is our aim to foster a professional community that reflects the breadth of our diverse society.
