ICA Fall 2015 Curatorial Internships

The ICA’s Internship Program invites qualified individuals to explore museum careers in an educational internship setting. Interns participate in museum events, support departments with research and data management and get to know the daily activities that make the ICA an exciting and innovative museum. Unpaid part-time internships are available in winter/spring (January- April) summer (May-August), and fall (September – December) depending on the needs of departments. Please refer to specific department descriptions for internship availability.

Over the course of the internship, Curatorial interns learn about the many responsibilities of a curatorial team while participating in research and administrative assistance, responding to standard department inquiries via mail and email, which include artist inquiries, submissions, and traveling exhibition proposals. Interns also assist with day-to-day administrative tasks, including file building; library organization and maintenance, and preparation for department presentations. Interns should possess a background and interest in contemporary art and should be familiar with Microsoft office suite.

To apply, please submit by 9/1/2015:

 Current resume

 Completed application (available on our website) and statement of interest

 Two available professional references

We encourage applicants to obtain school credit for their internship if possible and will work with universities to ensure proper credit for the internship. International applicants are encouraged to apply; however, the appropriate visa must be obtained prior to start date. The ICA does not sponsor visas for international interns at this time.
