<p>Each summer quarter, students gather for a class titled Curating Contemporary Art, a Jacob Lawrence Gallery Practicum (ART 496 / ART H 498). Some of the students go on to work as paid interns in the gallery during the following academic year.</p>
<p>The class has been virtual in 2020 and 2021, but it has continued to provide students with an overview of the multifaceted world of contemporary art. Jacob Lawrence Gallery Director + Curator Emily Zimmerman wrote this in her most recent course description:</p>

<p>The Graduate Students of Art History (GSAH) is an organization that has existed off and on for decades. It is currently quite active, especially because of a reading group named Dismantling the Canon. PhD student Ananya Sikand, one of the reading group organizers, recently provided information about its origin, activities, and plans.</p>
