SCULPTURECENTER
Media and Events Internship
SculptureCenter is a not-for-profit arts institution dedicated to experimental and innovative
developments in contemporary sculpture. We are currently accepting applicants for internships
for Fall 2016.
Internships are unpaid but school credit may be earned. We regularly host international interns
with strong language skills. Scheduling is flexible with an expected commitment of two days
per week for 3 months. Working with a small staff in an open office environment, you will gain
valuable insight and hands on experience working for a non-profit art museum. Interns take on
projects that have a direct and visible outcome in our exhibitions, public programs, and
events. You will also come away with important professional skills for working in the field of
contemporary art. All interns enjoy complementary NewArtNetwork memberships after their
internship.
The Media Intern works directly with the Associate Director and Operations Manager to
generate content for SculptureCenter’s online media presence. Primary responsibilities will be
producing video and web content. This includes filming and editing interviews with artists and
visitors, documenting public programs and events, and updating social media as needed.
Candidates should be enthusiastic, self-directed, and interested in initiating media projects.
Experience behind a camera and editing video with Adobe Premiere required.
Qualified applicants will have professional written and oral communication, excellent
organization, and online research skills as well as basic familiarity with creative software, such
as Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator. All internships will include special dedicated events
and NewArtNetwork membership programming, attending gallery tours, artists’ studios, and
special collections. Interns should have a strong knowledge of and enthusiasm for
contemporary art, enjoying visiting galleries and museums in their free time. Prior museum or
gallery experience preferred.
To apply please send a cover letter, resume, and two professional references to
