Galleries Internship

The Galleries Intern will work closely with the sales gallery and exhibition gallery staff to provide inventory and installation support. The Intern will gain broad experience in the behind-the-scenes business and gallery operations of a large community art center, including online sales support, inventory management, display, exhibition installation work, and help with special events. The Galleries Internship will proceed in fall 2022 with safety protocols following the recommended state public health guidelines.

This position requires a time commitment of 4 – 8 hours weekly, with a chance for increased hours during installation weeks. Time is to be split between program areas as needed. An internship with Northern Clay Center provides students or recent graduates with valuable experience in arts administration, exhibition installation, and retail business practices. This position will help you develop strong connections with the local arts community and professional artists in the field. It will also provide an opportunity to learn about the best practices and behind-the-scene details of gallery operation.
