The Corporation of the Fine Arts Museums (COFAM) is offering an 8-week, paid internship in the European Decorative Arts and Sculpture department at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
FAMSF values diversity in culture, race and ethnicity, and gender expression. Candidates from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in the arts and museum fields are encouraged to apply.
FAMSF is deeply committed to supporting the needs of our immediate community. In line with this objective, our summer internships are designed for those who live or go to school in the nine Bay Area counties.
FAMSF’s Summer Internship program provides an opportunity to work in one of the largest public arts institutions in San Francisco. This program is designed to be an introductory professional experience, typically for students, emerging professionals, and those just entering the workforce, who are interested in a career in museums or the arts and who are passionate about equity and inclusion. This is a paid, full-time eight-week program, where interns will work directly with museum staff to support departmental goals and will be responsible for individual projects. Interns participate in training sessions, professional development, and a weekly Career Insights guest speaker series. They will gain knowledge of museum careers and culture, receive mentorship from full-time staff, hands-on project experience and feedback, and join a network of emerging museum professionals.
Join a dynamic team at the Legion of Honor as we celebrate its 100th anniversary and look toward the future! Receive an introduction to the fundamentals of curatorial work from experienced professionals with international backgrounds and strong global networks, and make a concrete impact on the understanding and public dissemination of our decorative arts and sculpture collection.
