As art history students, we understand that it can often be difficult to find an internship in a museum, gallery, non-profit, or other art institution that can help explore potential career avenues and gain professional experience.
In order to make the search for art internships easier, we have compiled a list of opportunities all over the world, including internships in curation, conservation, and more, for students interested in entering the professional art world. We have also included resources like helpful websites, youtube channels, and podcasts.
If you have any recommended resources you want to suggest to us, please feel free to email your materials to us at info@chenghuai.org~
Any First Nations, Métis and Inuit individuals with stable Internet access. In the case of the hybrid option, have the availability and willingness to travel to the National Capital Region (Ottawa-Gatineau) for three one-week periods to work in person with the Museum’s resources (including its professional staff).
Please note that having a college or university credential in a museum or heritage-related discipline is considered an asset, but is not necessary for the Program. Additionally, experience in Indigenous cultural interpretation or related work is also considered an asset, but is not mandatory. Lived experience will be recognized just as much as formal education.
A Museum steering committee will review and select successful candidates from the proposals received based on creativity, innovation and applicability to the Museum’s mandate as Canada’s national museum of human history.
Applicants are encouraged to focus on the following areas for projects, as they can be completed virtually as well as in person: oral histories, Indigenous languages, Indigenous music and song traditions, graphic arts, and digital technologies and online content creation.
Eligible applicants should submit:
