SITE Santa Fe’s Internship Program is a paid opportunity that provides interns with meaningful experiences in a working environment within a contemporary art museum. One fall intern will be accepted into the Education Department, and one fall intern will be accepted into the External Affairs Department. They will be encouraged to expand on their experiences by also learning in other areas of museum operations. This includes not only working directly on multi-departmental projects, but also one-on-one interviews with staff to learn about their roles and backgrounds.
Interns will be required to work a minimum of 120 hours (or 10 hours/week for 12 weeks).
Each intern will receive a $1680 stipend ($840 at the midpoint and $840 at the completion of the internship). Internship stipends issued by SITE Santa Fe are not considered salary or meant as compensation, but are awarded to help defray living expenses for an intern during the term of their appointment.
Other benefits include:
- Course credit (if desired)
- Supporter-Level SITE Memberships ($125 value): includes access to the North American Reciprocal, ROAM, and the Modern/Contemporary museum membership programs
- Meeting with SITE Santa Fe’s leadership staff
- Networking opportunities throughout Santa Fe
