Internships

An internship is a work situation that is designed to give students and graduates the opportunity to gain experience in their chosen field of work. Internships offer the chance to gain or refine skills not ordinarily taught in the classroom, as well as providing a service to the organization. Ideally, the experience for the intern is a balanced "service learning" experience. An internship at the Contemporary signals a serious commitment to contemporary arts on your resume, and can provide you with the contacts and knowledge needed to find employment in the arts.

We offer internships in several areas:
Gallery
Education and Outreach
Publicity and Marketing
Arts Administration
Special Events and Fundraising

All interns must be well organized, enthusiastic, and able to work on a high volume of projects simultaneously with minimum supervision. Creativity, resourcefulness, excellent writing skills and computer proficiency are a necessity. We are looking for people with a ‘can do’ attitude and the ability to thrive as part of a team.

Internships are unpaid. You may receive academic credit if arrangements are made in advance.

Interns need to make a commitment of 15 – 35 hours per week for a period of three months (or longer). The more time an intern can offer, the richer their experience as an intern will be.

To apply, please submit the following:

• Letter of intent
• Resume or C.V.
• Contact info for two references (at least one should be academic)
• An indication of the time frame you are interested in
