Internships

Interns are critical to the smooth operation of the BROOKLYN ARTISTS GYM and are thus selected carefully for their ability to responsibly carry out the tasks of their assignments.

Interns spend their time at BAG (typically 10-15 hours per week) split between general management tasks and a specific, independently-driven project unique to each intern and his/her skills.  It may be a focus on the gallery, on marketing, on the website, on estate art, on figure drawing, or on another area of particular interest to the applicant.  When not working on their individual project, interns will assist the Manager and Gallery Director with daily tasks that include: running errands, updating the website, general administrative tasks, traveling around the city to distribute marketing materials, painting walls, working gallery openings, hanging shows, and occasionally staffing events (for pay).  Interpersonal skills, character and dependability are critical traits that are looked for in the selection process.

Interns are also members of BAG; they receive a free membership to the open studio, and in turn their maturity as working artists is taken into account in the selection process.  Interns should count on a three-month commitment.  They are scheduled for 40+ hours a month of direct service.  Compensation for service includes college credit where applicable and full membership privileges as well as free attendance to figure drawing sessions.

Competition for internships is intense so please fill out this application thoughtfully and completely. Include an up-to-date resume indicating your employment history and education.
