Internship Program Description
The Museum's Internship Program offers college undergraduates, graduate students, and recent graduates' valuable insights into the operations of a professional museum environment.

Job Summary
The Public Programs Intern will work within the Learning & Engagement Department to support the Public Programs team. The Public Programs team curates accessible, art-inspired experiences, offering a broad range of opportunities that inspire creativity, incite dialogue and bring the Museum's mission to life. From artist talks to hands-on workshops, screenings and performances, Public Programs unites the Museum's diverse adult audiences. The team aims to demystify creative practices, dismantle cultural and intellectual hierarchy, and expand the ways our audiences connect with art and artists. We do this by approaching programming from a place of intellectual curiosity, trust, and experimentation. Our intern will pursue independent research to support the development of public programs and partnerships, as well as gain hands-on experience supporting the Museum's seasonal Uptown Fridays programming. As time and projects allow, they also will gain hands-on experience in arts administration, coordinating program operations, and interfacing with a variety of stakeholders. As Public Programs regularly interface with other Museum Departments, the internship provides a unique opportunity to observe the many collaborators and workflows involved in the production of public programs. The intern must possess excellent interpersonal skills, be proficient in research and writing, and be able to multitask whilst working independently.
