Program Overview

Have the opportunity to work in one of the world’s leading art galleries during this internship program abroad! Institute for Global Studies (IGS) typically works with small to mid-sized galleries providing real responsibilities.

Many gallery owners and artists aren’t adept with social media, so your help is needed to manage their Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other online channels. You could also work behind the scenes and assist with art preparation, including procuring frames, displaying new pieces, and setting up backdrops. Your duties are typically related to:

Gallery setup
Art interpretation
Social media
Marketing
Event planning
Public relations
Store maintenance

As an intern, the next big thing is always around the corner. Plus, you can always share your passion for the arts with the public.

Different gallery set ups everyday

IGS gave me a position in a medium-sized museum and I loved everything about it. I super like that it's not too big to be filled with so much people, as it trigers my social anxiety. I love also that it isn't too small to not do anything. i was trained in how to communicate with visitors, and was oriented on the history of the majestic pieces of art. Thankj you very much, IGS!

Working for an art gallery is my dream!

Working for an art gallery is my dream! And to do it in Paris is way beyond my expectations. Everyday, there are prepared different units of the gallery. And everyday there are some seemingly daunting tasks. But I am glad that my supervisors are mentoring me all throughout the process. I also did some research, printed some captions, worked with the marketing and creatives team. This internship gave me my dream and I would always cherish it. <3 I would like to give my sincerest thanks to the IGS group for this amazing adventure. Your programme opened doors for me to meet a lot of people and travelled different places.
