Empowering Museum Voices - OMA 2024 Fellowship

The mission of the Ohio Museums Association (OMA) is to connect, educate, empower, and advocate for the Ohio museum community. In pursuit of this mission, we acknowledge that numerous individuals within the museum sector, as well as those aspiring to embark on a career in museums, may not have equal access to essential professional development resources and career opportunities.

As a way to address this disparity, OMA is piloting a Fellowship Cohort, to start in January 2024.

See full details, and submit your fellowship application on the Empowering Museum Voices page.

How many Fellowships are available? This fellowship will connect OMA with up to 10 applicants from backgrounds historically underrepresented in the museum field.

Who is eligible to apply for a Fellowship? Those eligible for the program include students studying in a museum-related field (this is a broad spectrum – if you have questions about if your field of study qualifies, please contact OMA), current museum professionals, or those that are wanting to explore a career in museums.

Applicants should have backgrounds that are historically underrepresented in the museum field. This can include, but is not limited to, the BIPOC community, people with disabilities, Appalachian and rural communities, lower income communities, LGBTQ+ communities, and justice-impacted citizens.

All applicants must either live, work, or study in the state of Ohio.
