Internships

The Art Gallery offers a limited number of short-term, unpaid internship placements in selected departments. Applications are subject to the requirements outlined below and to any criteria specified by the individual department to which you are applying.

Guidelines

  • Internships are generally available only to currently enrolled tertiary level students.
  • Priority is given to students enrolled in museum studies, art history, visual arts, art education or arts administration courses, and in particular to those students for whom an internship is a course requirement.
  • Preference is given to students enrolled in educational institutions in New South Wales.

Information for potential applicants

  • Internships at the Art Gallery of NSW are greatly sought after by many people, which makes the application process highly competitive.
  • Each application will be assessed on its merits.
  • You must apply for a specific department within the Gallery (see list, below). Address any special requirements for that department and mention any relevant skills and experience.
  • Successful applicants will be subject to an interview to further determine their suitability.
  • Successful applicants may be subject to security clearance and working-with-children checks.
  • You should also consider approaching other galleries and museums for internships. View the Links page of the Museums and Galleries Foundation NSW for a list of other relevant organisations.
