Each student will intern in an institution approved by the program director. The purpose of the internship is to give students an insider’s view of the workings of the art world.

Internships seek to make use of students’ particular abilities, such as a foreign language or computer skills. At the same time, students will learn how individual art institutions go about their day-to-day business, and about the functioning of the art world more generally.
