Student internships
Gain real-world experience while helping the arts thrive in our community
learn by doing
Interns gain hands-on experience supporting the day-to-day work of a community arts organization. We offer two internship opportunities: a Gallery Internship, focused on exhibitions, events, visitor services, and administrative projects, and a Social Media Internship, focused on digital content and promoting our programs and events.
Internship positions are very limited and offered based on current needs, available projects, and each applicant’s interests and experience.
