Internship Program
Dieu Donné offers a limited number of internship opportunities for students and artists interested in learning aspects of working in a non-profit contemporary artist workspace. The internship program follows the academic calendar with three annual cycles (Fall, Spring, Summer). Internships are unpaid, however participants earn credit toward studio time at Dieu Donné. University or High School credit can be accommodated for participating institutions.
Internship areas:
Candidates are allowed to participate in more than one area of the organization.
Art Administration/Gallery
Interns will see how a non-profit artist workspace operates from the inside by working with the administrative staff. Candidates will assist with various aspects in both the gallery and administration areas depending on the programmatic needs. Duties include general office maintenance and organization, handling, preparation and delivery of artwork, and interface with the public. The ideal candidate will have a strong interest in contemporary art, possess excellent writing and research skills, and be well versed in a number of Mac software applications.
Studio
Interns will learn the workings of a fully equipped papermaking studio by working closely with our experienced Studio staff in a unique collaborative environment. Primary areas of responsibility include the maintenance, organization, and preparation of the studio, machinery, and supplies. These activities are essential to supporting the organization’s artistic residencies and the production of handmade paper. The ideal candidate will have a strong interest in contemporary art, work well with their hands, have some studio and art handling experience, take initiative and be able to work independently.
