Curatorial interns will gain a wide range of curatorial knowledge, including: object handling, object research, audio guide development, database administration, cataloguing procedures, label writing, gallery installation, and general department administration.

The internship program is based on the following criteria and standards:

• Two internships are available for the Fall and Spring terms.
• Applicants should be in their Junior or Senior year of college.
• Applicants should have taken multiple Art History classes and be interested in museum or gallery work as a career or contemplating graduate work in the field.
• Interns must be available to work a minimum of two 4-hour shifts during the academic year. Summer internships will require a minimum of 20 hours per week. 
• Curatorial internships are unpaid. We are happy to help students receive credit for their internships.

Interested students should send in writing to the Intern Supervisor:

• A resumé including a list of Art History courses taken.
• Full contact information including phone, e-mail, and permanent address.
• A cover letter expressing their areas of interest and career goals.
• Submissions may be mailed, faxed, or e-mailed.
