LACMA has partnered with Fisk University to develop the ART-CC (Assessment Recruitment and Training in Collections and Conservation) Fellowship Program to offer students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) two-year fellowships in Registration and Collections Management. This program is designed to nurture museum professionals, build institutional capacity, increase access to museum and archival collections at HBCUs, and help diversify the fields of Registration and Collections Management. Fellows complete one year of training at LACMA, then spend one year in Nashville at the Fisk University Galleries. In their second year, Fellows complete a collections assessment alongside Fisk University staff and with continued mentorship from LACMA staff. Fellows also participate as mentors in LACMA and Fisk’s ongoing FLICCR program (Fisk LACMA Introduction to Conservation, Collections Management, and Registration), which is part of Fisk University's Museum Leadership Program.ART-CC is funded by an Institute for Museums and Libraries Museum Grant for African American History and Culture.
