INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Studio Gallery has developed a program for college students, graduates, and those interested in arts administration and management. We offer the option of working with the professors of a student to customize tasks to the specific interests of the student, and can provide a final evaluation at the end of the internship. The program hires on a rolling basis and accepts applications year round. Interns learn about gallery administration and curation while assisting the Gallery Director in day-to-day functioning. These opportunities to help curate shows, facilitate social media projects, and undertake everyday gallery functions help students gain skills, insights and experience in preparation for competitive jobs in the arts. On occasion, we will also accept interns who do not have an expansive background in the arts, but who are well versed in digital media management. To apply for an internship, email the Gallery Director at director@studiogallerydc.com with a resume, brief statement of interest, and three references. Vaccination against COVID-19 and access to a laptop are both required for this program.
We are accepting internship applications for Fall/Winter 2024-5 and beyond. Please contact the Director for more information.
