Art & Fine Art Internships Abroad

The art world is more precious than ever with all of the tech advances that have been made in the past few decades. It’s a double-edged sword to be an artist or art appreciator today. On one hand, the internet and social media have provided platforms to showcase work and build communities, but on the other hand, it’s a completely curated experience of the artist. Their culture, story, and what compels them can only be shown through a technological lens. The arts are at their best when it’s explored in the world, and an internship is a great option.

A Guide to Fine Arts Internships Abroad

Prepare for an Internship

Set goals

Setting out to learn more about art and fine arts can be incredibly eye-opening. Don’t forget to set out with at least some goals like these!

  • Push your boundaries by being open to new or unfamiliar art forms and having a more expansive view of your field.
  • Consider and try new projects that you haven’t worked on before to explore the possibilities of different paths.
  • On a personal, and soft skill level, work on personal aspects to grow as a person and employee.
  • Seek out mentors or professionals in the field you may want to base a similar path to.

Understand the benefits

  • Exposure to various cultural art standards. There are different art styles anywhere you go, working within them can make you better and be more accessible to more people without sacrificing your style.
  • Networking within the field. By establishing yourself as an artist in another country, you will have the chance to work with known artists who will provide insight into how to be successful in that country.
  • Invaluable hands-on experience. The art world is competitive, and having professional international experience can help you in your career pursuits.
  • Practice your craft and grow your portfolio. Does it even need explaining?

Things to know

There’s plenty to know and prep once you have an internship! Here are a few basics you’ll find across the board.

  • Accommodations - Some programs may offer housing while others don’t—make sure to check for it either way.
  • Cost of living - The expenses of countries are another important thing to know. Make a budget and stick to it.
  • Culture - Being aware of and open to the inevitable cultural differences! It’s the best way to get out of your internship.
  • Daily life - Along with the cultural aspects of the host country, your work schedule is something to be aware of ASAP.

I really enjoyed my internship in Seoul, the company was amazing and very welcoming, and my accomodation was close to everything that I needed. I enjoyed the work that I did and I received very clear instructions on how to achieve what I needed to by my host company.
