Hello friends and colleagues,
Please spread the word for our paid teen internships below to all the young arts activists in your lives! Both of these internships focus on deep explorations of our collection, relevant themes and topics to our current day, and community building through organizing larger educational and creative events for their peers. We are especially excited by the connections that both programs will make to ongoing exhibitions and initiatives around the museum this year—contemporary queer and trans exhibiting artists in the legacy of the Stonewall Uprising, for InterseXtions teen staff, and Soul of A Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power for our Teen Night Planning Committee, for example.
Deadlines are coming up
InterseXtions: Gender & Sexuality
