2010-2011 INTERNSHIP APPLICATIONS ARE NOW ONLINE

The 2010-2011 call for applications for National Gallery of Art internships is now available on the Gallery’s Web site. The Gallery offers three different internships, each having different projects, eligibility requirements, and terms.

2010-2011 Graduate Internships

The 2010-2011 Graduate Internships include Internships in the Museum Profession and Graduate Curatorial Internships. Internships in the Museum Profession provide institutional training to students interested in pursuing a museum career, while Graduate Curatorial Internships provide in-depth training for PhD students and recent PhD recipients interested in gaining curatorial experience in a museum setting. All graduate interns work with curators or heads of Gallery departments, and they attend a weekly museum seminar that introduces them to the staff, departments, programs, and functions of the Gallery.

Volunteer Internships, Research Assistantships, and Apprenticeships

Volunteer Internships, Research Assistantships, and Apprenticeships allow candidates to work in various Gallery departments, supervised by a curator or other department head. Interns contribute to ongoing Gallery projects and programs and are invited to participate in the museum seminars that introduce the staff, departments, programs, and functions of the Gallery. Research assistants and apprentices concentrate on specific projects and do not attend the museum seminars.
