The Drawing Center Invites Applicants for Its Paid Internship Program

The Drawing Center is the only not-for-profit institution in the country
to focus on the exhibition of drawings, both contemporary and
historical.  It was established in 1977 to provide opportunities for
emerging and under-recognized artists;  to demonstrate the significance
and diversity of drawings throughout history;  and to stimulate public
dialogue on issues of art and culture.  The Drawing Center is located in
the historic SoHo district of New York City, known for its large number
of art galleries, museums, and artists' studios.

The Drawing Center's Internship Program provides opportunities to
acquire practical experience in the daily functions of a small art
museum by rotating interns through each department and utilizing their
assistance in exhibition installations and de-installations.  Areas of
the museum include education, curation, registration, development,
publications, public relations, operations, and The Drawing Center's
Viewing Program for emerging artists.  While in each area, interns work
with staff members on projects that vary in length, difficulty, and
complexity while learning the responsibilities of each department, as
well as gaining an overall sense of the holistic and integrated
structure of a small museum.

To complement these practical experiences, interns work on reflective
activities that deepen their thinking and develop larger questions about
what they are learning and figuring out as well as participate in
professional development exercises that provide assistance and resources
for the possibility of future employment and professional status in the
visual arts.

Applicants to the Internship Program should be undergraduates, graduate
students, or recent graduates.  Interns may receive work-study payment
or academic credit, or they may volunteer their time;  a small stipend
may be available for our summer program.  They must be able to work at
least 15 hours each week during the duration of the internship.
Internships run for approximately three months;  our summer program runs
from May to July, our fall program runs from September to December, and
our winter/spring program runs from January to April.  In some
circumstances, interns may be able to continue for subsequent sessions.

To apply, please contact us at The Drawing Center for an application.
The deadline for our summer program is April 15, the deadline for our
fall program is August 15, and the deadline for our winter/spring
program is December 15.
