MOMA Houston Modern and Contemporary Art Internship-PAID

Description

The MOMA Houston Modern and Contemporary Art Internship is open to undergraduate students who have completed at least two years of college with a focus on art history or a related subject, or those who have recently completed (within one year) their undergraduate degree. To be considered for this role, you should possess strong organizational, research, writing, interpersonal, and collaboration skills. As an intern, you will gain first-hand professional experience with a curatorial team. You will focus on the role of a permanent collection as a community resource, emphasizing best scholarly practices and object-based learning. You will gain exposure to research methodologies, public engagement, and the evolving field of art history, which increasingly includes diverse fields of study and perspectives. As part of this learning experience, you will also participate in the department’s daily activities, such as responding to requests from visiting scholars and the public, updating information on the collection website, and interfacing with other museum departments and with the larger internship cohort. Included will be opportunities to undertake field trips to notable art galleries, artists’ studios, and alternative spaces, offering a broader view of Houston’s dynamic art scene. This internship is offered in Houston, TX, during the summer.
