Twelve-Month Internships
Full-time, twelve-month internships with stipends are offered
for recent college graduates interested in pursuing a museum career
whose academic and/or professional experience combines art history
with one or more of the following areas: arts administration,
museum studies, arts management, development, studio art or related
studies. The focused departmental training is integrated with
the fall, spring and summer lecture series and complemented with
financial provisions for the interns to attend a national conference
of their choice. At the end of the internship, interns may seek
career planning and job placement counseling from the Internship
Coordinators and the Department of Human Resources. Twelve-month
internships provide training in specific museum fields through
close work with a professional staff member; familiarity with
modern and contemporary art through seminars and discussions;
an educational program that exposes interns to the workings of
the Museum as a whole and considers the role of museums in the
broader cultural context. Twelve-month interns will also be given
the opportunity to develop and regularly deliver public gallery
talks about the Museum’s permanent collection.
Length 12 months beginning in mid-September

9:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m.)
