The UMW Galleries’ Internship Program is now accepting applications for the Fall 2025 / Spring 2026 Academic Year. Applications are due by end of day (11:59pm) on February 28, 2025.
An internship with the UMW Galleries provides students with hands-on experience in museum collections management, exhibition design, and gallery administration. Interns participate in many diverse projects under the direction of the Director and Exhibition Coordinator. Some activities include: digitizing and photographing the collection for our online database, updating collections storage facilities with archival quality materials, install and de-install exhibitions, providing tours to visiting groups, and much more.
Each semester the Galleries will employ 4-5 interns who want to pursue careers and gain expertise in the fields of Art, Art History, and Museum Studies. Internships may be one to three academic credits, with each credit equaling three hours of work in the galleries a week.
Internships are open to all UMW students. Priority is given to graduating seniors in the relevant fields of Art History, Studio Art, Historic Preservation, and Museum Studies. Students can access and complete the application here.
