American Folk Art Museum
Internships
 |
The museum is home to one of the world’s finest collections of traditional American folk art and the work of international contemporary self-taught artists. Through its renowned permanent collection of more than 5,000 works of art, the museum has been introducing audiences to the story of folk art for more than four decades. The museum offers internships for college students, graduate students, and emerging professionals interested in museum careers. The goal of an internship is to provide practical experience as well as a general understanding of the role of an individual department within the larger museum setting. Under the supervision of professional staff, interns learn about the collection through curatorial talks and tours, observe programs for visitors, and contribute to specific projects within their department. Summer 2010 Internships The museum will be offering two internships through Arts Intern, a program of Studio in a School, for the summer of 2010. Please read through program descriptions and eligibility requirements carefully before submitting an application. Internships are available throughout the year. To apply, please send your resumé and a cover letter indicating the department you are interested in to Jennifer Kalter, manager of school and family programs, at jkalter@folkartmuseum.org. No phone calls please. |
