Internships
Internships are available to students from high schools currently involved with the Modern’s education department through Repeat Visit and Modern Collaborative Studies programs. Each internship is a paid position developed to be flexible and adaptive to the responsibilities and schedules of high school students. The goal of these internships is to provide professional work experience and an overall feel for how education departments operate in a modern and contemporary art museum. Education department staff will provide mentorship, assistance in developing hard and soft skills, and a collaborative professional environment for projects, programs, and events. For information on applying next year, please call Jesse Morgan Barnett at 817.840.2141 with any questions or send an email to the education department here.
