INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
The Arlington Arts Center (AAC), founded
in 1977, is an independent non-profit organization dedicated
to presenting and supporting the new work of contemporary
artists from the Mid-Atlantic states. Through exhibitions,
subsidized studio space, and educational opportunities,
the AAC serves as a bridge between artists and the public.
The goal is to increase awareness and appreciation of,
and involvement in, contemporary visual art in the Mid-Atlantic
region.
This Washington, D.C. area art space
rotates exhibitions six times each year. There are nine
galleries in the center that can accommodate new media
such as video and installation, as well as two-dimensional
work and free standing sculpture. In addition, the AAC
runs an eight-week series of classes for adults and children
in both winter and summer.
1) Curatorial interns help
with most aspects of our exhibition program: registering
images and artworks, creating signage and pedagogical
text, designing catalogues where applicable, preparing
works and galleries for installation, installation itself
and de-installation. Other possible tasks include writing
press releases and coordinating gallery talks and cross-disciplinary
complementary programs.
2) Arts education interns assist
with many aspects of running an arts education program:
registering students, preparing course descriptions and
catalogues, communicating with instructors, working as
a teacher's aide in children's classes, and coordinating
supply lists.
Interns should expect to work an
average of 20-25 hours a week, with some evening and weekend
hours required. Depending on requirements at the student's
academic institution, dates and hours can be modified.
Internships are for those in or entering their final year
of undergraduate studies, or graduate students only. AAC
internships do not include a stipend.
