Stanley Picker Internship, Matt's Gallery - London

Matt's Gallery is a contemporary art gallery in Mile End funded by Arts Council England and other major trusts and foundations. We are pleased to announce the next Stanley Picker Internship at Matt's Gallery. Now in its third year this bursaried internship will run from January 2010 to June 2010.

The first two months of the programme will introduce a broad range of administrative tasks within the gallery. This will involve working closely with the director and three gallery managers on a range of projects including exhibitions, education, fundraising and general gallery management. At the end of the first phase there will be a review with the Director and Gallery Manager Managers. This discussion will look at progress to date and establish the intern's area of focus for the remainder of the internship. A plan of work for the remaining four months of the internship will be agreed with the gallery director and managers.

 

This is an opportunity for a recent graduate or postgraduate to gain valuable experience working as part of the gallery team. The internship is offered on a part-time basis for 6 months (two days per week). A bursary of £2,000 will be paid over the course of the internship, the equivalent of approximately £40 per day. Applicants should have a strong desire to learn and develop within a professional gallery environment and will be required to demonstrate knowledge of the visual arts and an aptitude for research, as well as good administrative, communication and organisational skills.
