Internship
We are not accepting full-time employment applications at this time. We appreciate your interest and patience. Pleased check back again for updated information.
The museum is currently looking for interns to assist with our visitor services, public programs, and community outreach. Interns will be expected to become familiar with the museum's collections and exhibitions, with the intent to give guided tours as docents. Docents are not expected to become experts in Asian art. They are, however, expected to develop a good general knowledge of Asian art and gain extra insight into some of the artwork in order to share beyond what the exhibit labels can provide. As a small organization, our interns - like our employees - may be asked to help in multiple aspects of the museum's daily operations, such as membership services, library assistance, exhibition set-up, cataloging, and research.
Students should be enrolled in a related higher education program. Strong communication skills are desired, and knowledge of Asian art and/or Mandarin is a plus but not required. Interns will be required to be present for a few hours one day on the weekend and possibly some evening training sessions and events. This is an unpaid internship that can be used for credit hours. Interns can expect to dedicate 5 -10 hours a week.
If you are interested to apply, please send your resume and cover letter to info@heritageasianart.org
