Dear Colleagues:

In 2011 I helped to establish a new certificate program in Art Collection Management, Registration and Display for New York University’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies.  

The goals of the program include creating jobs within the arts and culture industry, and setting and maintaining standards of object care and handling.  Our faculty includes the Head Registrars at MoMA and The Jewish Museum; the Manager of Packing and Art Services  at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; and the COO of ArtStor, the Andrew Mellon initiative for the digitization of museum collections, and myself.

Students are now ready for internships in museums, galleries, auction houses, corporate and private collections, historic properties, and other art businesses.  These internships can be paid or unpaid and generally run from 8 – 10 weeks.  Areas that you might consider utilizing an NYU intern for are:  cataloging and inventory projects; digitization and image management; art handling; packing and preparing works for storage and display; installation; and condition reporting and other registration projects. 

Please let me know if you are interested, either now or in the future, in taking an intern from the NYU program for any of your current or upcoming collections or registration projects.  I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have about the program or the level of experience of the students.

On behalf of NYU, thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Geri Thomas, President
