In addition to its residency program, Villa Albertine offers 15 professional programs covering fields within the cultural and creative industries. These programs, historically run by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the US and now by Villa Albertine in partnership with the Albertine Foundation, have been playing a key role in strengthening and renewing ties between the French and American cultural landscapes for over thirty years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2023, Villa Albertine will launch the Museums Next Generation program, a new professional incubator for the next generation of French and American museum curators and professionals. This program completes Villa Albertine\u2019s range of activities in the field of museums and heritage, which also includes a series of discussions on the future of museums<\/a>\u00a0bringing together 24 French and American female museum directors in 2023 and a residency program<\/a> welcoming\u00a0several figures from the museum world, archaeology, and art history this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over five years the program will serve 50 visionary museum professionals from France and the US, helping to empower a new generation of leaders at a critical period in the evolution of museums.<\/h3>\n

Designed to strengthen relationships and promote collaboration between emerging museum leaders in France and in the US, the Museums Next Generation program sponsors a two-week exchange that will immerse six to eight French museum professionals for a two-week exploration in the US and four of their American counterparts for ten days in France. The program aims to bolster links between institutions in both countries, familiarizing them with the French and American museum systems, while helping to build a deep bench of professionals destined for leadership positions.\u00a0It will\u00a0 help the young professionals develop a professional network that spans across the Atlantic. After five years, the program will have brought together a community of 50 professionals that will serve as a solid base for future Franco-American cultural relations.<\/p>\n

The first French cohort arrived in Los Angeles on March 26th; where they spent their first week in meetings, exchanges, and visits in partnership with the J. Paul Getty Museum; followed by a week in May in New York and the Clark Art Institute of Williamstown, Massachusetts. Later editions will take place in different cities or regions with a prolific museum scene, such as the Midwest (Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland), Washington DC or Texas (Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth).\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
