This year's application deadline for summer internships at the Getty Center and Getty Villa has passed; the 2009 application instructions remain on this site for your reference only. The next application deadline will be March 1, 2010, and new application materials will be available here in January 2010. Additional internships at other Los Angeles-area museums and visual arts organizations will also be available, and a list of these positions will be posted here in April 2010.
Since 1993, the Foundation's Multicultural Undergraduate Internship program has provided substantive, full-time work opportunities to more than 2,100 multicultural undergraduates, exposing them to potential careers in the arts. Aiming to increase diversity in and provide support for Los Angeles-area museums and visual arts organizations, the program provides funding for internships at these organizations, including at the Getty Center and the Getty Villa. The Foundation's support enables organizations to host students in full-time, paid internships for ten weeks during the summer.
The internships are intended specifically for outstanding students who are members of groups currently underrepresented in careers related to museums and the visual arts. Students gain experience in key areas such as curatorship, conservation, education, publications, and related programmatic activities. Candidates are sought from all areas of undergraduate study and are not required to have demonstrated a previous commitment to the visual arts.
Eligibility
Students must:
- Be of African American, Asian, Latino/Hispanic, Native American, or Pacific Islander descent;
- Be currently enrolled undergraduates who have completed at least one semester of college by June 2009, or who will complete their undergraduate degree by September 1, 2009;
- Reside or attend college in Los Angeles County; and
- Be a United States citizen or permanent resident.
Terms
The internships are full-time (40 hours/week) positions, each with a salary of $3,500, for a consecutive ten-week work period between June and August, 2009.
