What is it like to work in an art museum? How have former CUNY students found opportunities in the visual arts? In this roundtable conversation, hear directly from MoMA staff members who are also CUNY alumni or professors about their own paths to careers in the arts. This conversation is designed specifically for CUNY undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in learning about and pursuing careers in visual art, arts education, and arts administration.

Each speaker will introduce their roles at MoMA and their experiences at CUNY, followed by a Q&A. Roundtable guests include:

Abed Haddad, The David Booth Fellow in Conservation Science, The David Booth Conservation Department (PhD in chemistry, CUNY Graduate Center)
Sydney Briggs, Associate Registrar, Department of Collection Management and Exhibition Registration (graduate studies, Hunter College)
Amara Thomas, Petrie Fellow, Teen Programs and Community Partnerships, Department of Education (BA, Hunter College)
