Our paid summer internships are 10/hrs a week for 6-8 weeks. We also accept and can accommodate  internship inquiries through academic internship programs that may have additional hourly requirements. 

Interns will be selected on the basis of their interest in contemporary art, and arts administration. Initiative and openness to team work are essential, as is a willingness to participate in all aspects of gallery management.
