Apprentices
The Peale is Baltimore’s Community Museum.
A Place to Learn
Apprenticeships at the Peale provide non-traditional mentorship and vocational training in fine art, curatorial practice, art installation, logistics, and historic building preservation to develop transferable skills using arts as the driving force.
Launched in 2020 by the Peale’s Chief Curator, Jeffrey Kent, the Accomplished Arts Apprentices (AAA) program aims to increase equity and inclusion in the arts, creative and preservation trades with specific focus on people from marginalized communities in Baltimore. Apprentices are paid a living wage while gaining access to meaningful, creative careers.
The AAA program is supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Sciences (IMLS), the Baltimore National Heritage Area, The Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, TransAmerica Foundation, and many individual donors.

The AAA program provides apprentices with the creative and practical foundations for careers in the arts, creative, and preservation trades.
“This program is incredibly important to our mission at the Peale. We’ve been pleased by the progress that was made by the participants.”
