Description of Internship

The Internship Program provides an opportunity to gain experience in all aspects of managing an arts organization and gallery. By working closely with the staff and the artists at the gallery, interns will become familiar with the unique nature of A.I.R. and become a part of its rich history. The work includes direct interaction with the public, assisting with mailings and gallery publicity, exhibition research, cataloging incoming information and facilitating communication between the staff, the artists and the public. Working closely with the small team at A.I.R., interns take the lead on specific projects and take on a multitude of responsibilities. Past projects have included organizing the archive of historic documents, coordinating open-call exhibitions, curatorial research, producing public programs, writing grant proposals, designing press materials, contributing to website upkeep and social media presence.

Internships are ongoing throughout the year and are available in the Winter, Spring, and Summer. Internships which occur during the academic year require a commitment of 2 days a week. Summer internships are 3-4 days a week.
