Swiss Institute Internship Swiss Institute
Collectionsthatcare, New York, NY, United States
Summary
SI is seeking a reliable and motivated intern with an interest in contemporary art, development, and administration. The intern will work closely with the development and curatorial departments, allowing them to experience the full cycle of putting together an exhibition from start to finish. They will be able to hone in on their skills in research and writing that pertain to both departments. Being involved with multiple departments, interns will uniquely experience the whole spectrum of roles/jobs that exist within the art ecosystem. Working with a smaller team allows interns to work on projects with greater responsibilities and high impact. Most importantly, interns will learn and experience the tasks– big and small– that make a midsize, contemporary arts nonprofit function on a daily basis. Upon successful completion of their internship, interns will be able to return to the SI team for advice, consultation, and letters of recommendation.
