CURRENTLY ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS: 2011-2012 Internship Program 

Thank you for your interest in interning at the Asheville Art Museum. Internships are one of the best ways to gain practical work experience (in many cases, applying various courses of study to a specific area of expertise through real-world application), while supporting the continued growth of the only art museum dedicated to serving 24 counties of Western North Carolina.

Please note that Museum Internships are unpaid. However, we are happy to coordinate with academic programs to ensure that student interns receive credit for their internships at the Museum. Departmental areas of focus include:

 

Communications & Public Relations

The Communication & Public Relations department expands public awareness of the Museum and aims to increases attendance and revenue. The Department produces the Museum’s media releases; circulates images for reproduction, places advertisements, produces newsletters and other promotional materials, updates Web site and social media sites. Interns will assist in producing media and updating online media and in coordinating special events.

Curatorial

The Curatorial Department researches and organizes upcoming exhibitions, including the development of timelines, checklists, and signage; produces exhibition catalogues; corresponds with artists, curators, galleries and museums. Interns will be introduced to issues relating to art history and will obtain administrative and curatorial skills in organizing art exhibitions.

Development

The Development department is responsible for all grants from government, foundation, and corporate sources; the membership program; contributions to the Museum; and the capital campaign for building and endowment needs. Interns will assist in researching prospective donors, program planning, membership events and grants writing.

Education

Education internships offer college art and art education students the opportunity to experience and develop skills in all aspects of arts education in a contemporary arts organization.

The Museum’s education staff will work closely with interns, mentoring such skills as interacting with groups of varying ages, assisting with exhibition/curriculum based art projects for various age groups, collaborating with our summer arts program teachers in the studio and more.

Requirements: Interns will be assisted by Education Department with administrative tasks and are expected to be involved with the stimulating and creative activities of our program. We are looking for congenial, energetic, highly motivated and creative individuals. Applicants should be familiar with a variety of art materials. Most importantly, you must have a positive enthusiastic attitude towards interacting with young people.

Museum Store & Visitor Services

The Museum Store complements the Museum's exhibition schedule by providing a stunning assortment of art related titles and objects for sale. Interns will gain experience in the day-to-day operations of a retail space, budgeting, visual merchandising, marketing, visitor services and special events.
