University Internships

Internships

Artpace San Antonio’s University Internship program allows students the opportunity to gain valuable first-hand experience in museum and arts Development; to gain experience in one or more of the following areas as related to the above department: to become familiar with the art institution’s working environment (division of tasks, hierarchy, priorities, etc.); to improve organizational and communication skills within the professional work environment; to apply knowledge and skills acquired in the classroom to service learning experience; to reflect on knowledge and skills (academic, professional, and social) acquired during the internship. As interns acquire skills in formal analysis, obtain a foundation in art history, and develop the proper vocabulary with which to assess and discuss artworks, they will apply this knowledge while working with artists, curators, archivists and/or art educators. Interns will also have the opportunity to become involved in public outreach and education so as to better grasp how museums and art institutions construct exhibits and programming to ensure works of art (historical and contemporary) continue to enrich the lives of individuals and communities. Additionally, interns interested in careers in arts administration (curatorial, administrative, archival, educational) will gain insight into the structural organization and culture of the art institution.

Artpace seeks college and university students to participate in internships for academic credit. Spring, summer, and fall internships are unpaid and run for eight weeks with a minimum commitment of 10 hours per week during office hours (Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm). Applications are received on a rolling basis.
