Internships will commence from October 24th

 

Cell's internship programme offers students, recent graduates, artists and researchers within the field of the visual arts an exciting opportunity to become involved with the events and exhibition programme of the gallery. The internship offers an opportunity to gain work experience in all aspects of contemporary art production, ranging from the installation of exhibitions to the day to day running of the office. The position is unpaid.

 

The role requires a regular 3 hours per week commitment over a total period of 6 months. During these weekly three hours, successful applicants are expected to commit to working front of house at the gallery representing the public image of the organisation and supporting the gallery manager in realising the events programme.

 

During installation periods and event preparations you will be required to increase hours to 4 full days over a two week period (negotiated in advance by the team to fit different schedules) with paid lunch.
