Fall 2019 Internship Program

The Museum’s Internship Program provides college undergraduates, graduate students, and recent graduates with a wide range of experiences designed to provide insight into the daily workings of a professional museum environment. In addition to working on meaningful, engaging projects with Museum staff, interns engage in a series of meetings, workshops, public programs, and offsite visits to arts and cultural institutions.

Interns will work alongside Studio Museum staff at satellite office locations in Harlem during the construction of our new building. Through inHarlem, a dynamic set of collaborative programs in our neighborhood, the Museum continues to present groundbreaking exhibitions, thought-provoking conversations, and engaging art-making workshops at a variety of partner and satellite locations in Harlem.

The following internships will be available for the Fall 2019 season: Accounting & Finance, Communications, Curatorial, Design & Digital Media, Development, Director’s Office, Education, Public Programs & Community Engagement, and Registrar.

Please note that we allow applicants to select a first and second choice for positions they would like to be considered for. Due to a high volume of applications, only candidates who have been selected for interviews will be contacted directly regarding their application status.
