Programming Internship

Civil Art is seeking a Programming Intern for the Spring 2026 semester. This position is ideal for students and recent graduates interested in art, art administration, and cultural organizing who want hands-on experience in exhibition production, event coordination, curation, and nonprofit arts administration. While this is an unpaid internship, students will receive school credit and—most importantly—mentorship, professional development, and access to a thriving community of API artists, creatives, and industry professionals.

Key Responsibilities:

• Exhibition/Event Coordination: Liaising with artists, galleries, institutions, or other venues to support pre-production and production.
• Registrar: Manage and maintain records of artworks, sponsorships, and exhibition/event-related information.
• Educational Event: Research and identify API artists with current exhibitions for potential social media features and collaborations.
• Newsletter Maintenance: Support upkeep and updates for Civil Art’s audiences.
• Database Management: Organize and update internal project databases, keeping information clear and accessible.
• General Support: Participate in team meetings, contribute to brainstorming sessions, and assist with day-to-day administrative tasks.

Requirements

• Currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program (school credit required).
• Students pursuing degrees in Art History or Arts Management are preferred but not required.
• Experience with Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop), Google Workspace, and presentation platforms such as Pitch (or similar) is strongly preferred.
• Strong writing and communication skills.
• Organized, detail-oriented, and able to work independently in a remote setting.
• Passionate about amplifying API voices in the arts.
