Graduate Internships
Graduate Internships in Visual Arts offer students valuable practical experience at a range of arts and cultural institutions. Placements may be in person or remote, local or farther afield. Worth a half course (0.5 credits), these internships are available to graduate students (MA, MFA, and PhD) in all streams of our program: art history, curatorial, and studio. Students have acquired skills related to educational programming, curation, exhibition research and design, promotion and publicity, festival and exhibition planning, professional writing and editing, auction practices, collections management, fundraising, catalogue preparation, artist support, website design, archival practices, and the integration of new media (e.g., augmented reality) in display strategies.
