Real Work Experience Through Internships in the Arts

The Arts Intern program places students from diverse cultural backgrounds who have financial need in paid summer internships with New York City museums. Interns must either be New York City residents, or enrolled in a college or university within the five boroughs of New York City. Museums in New York City are opening their doors to college undergraduates who want solid work experience through summer internships. The Arts Intern program matches young people with museums that make an integral place for them on their staff. Through Arts Intern, students build on their strengths, and develop new talents they didn't realize they had. Interns work alongside museum staff involved in all facets of the institution's fiscal and exhibit activities. In the end, the internship can impact on a young person's career decisions in profound ways.
