Aferro interns have the unique opportunity to work closely with staff and the larger arts community in learning all aspects of a not-for-profit organization, including the details of the day-to-day organization. Due to the intensity of the business, and our strong connection to the community, the internship position can build excellent professional skills/contacts and a breadth of knowledge that goes well beyond the work involved.
Internships at Aferro are particularly beneficial to motivated and enthusiastic individuals who are interested in cultivating exhibition, operations and arts administration experience in order to gain work experience and fulfill career goals in the art world.
Responsibilities and training could include: design, reception and communications during public hours as well as private tours, curator visits, and artist's studio visits, assisting staff with all aspects related to each of our exhibitions, database development, special event production, assisting with grant preparations, and various arts administration responsibilities. We will be preparing for several off-site film screenings, and for next year's Newark Open Studio Tour.
Preferred qualifications:
Professed enthusiasm for contemporary art.
Professionalism-- each applicant must be responsible and reliable.
