The Internship Program at the Asheville Art Museum offers participants "hands-on" training in the museum profession and a comprehensive overview of museum operations. Interns participate in the day-to-day activities of Museum departments in addition to working on specific projects. When making your arrangements, please keep in mind that internships are unpaid. We are happy to work with universities that offer credit for internships.
Interns must be able to work a minimum of two days per week. The exact schedule will be determined with the department supervisor.
Application Process: Please submit a 1-2 page letter of interest that states related educational experience and skills, and contact information for two references. Please specify which department you would be most interested in interning with, as we hope to match all interns with their first choices. Applicants who are applying for curatorial or development applications are asked to submit a writing sample; ideally this is a research paper from one of your classes in college.
We have a limited number of internships available each summer and we regret that we cannot always accommodate everyone as these internships are competitive. Prospective interns will be interviewed by at least one staff member.
