Marketing and Creative Intern

REAL INTERNSHIP. REAL WORK.

Skip the generic internship. This is hands-on work inside a real, operating art gallery.

This is not a classroom exercise.
You’ll work on real projects, with real deadlines, inside a real business.

About the role

J. Nunez Gallery is a contemporary art gallery with two locations in New Jersey. We work at the intersection of art, marketing, and creative business.

We’re looking for an Art & Marketing Intern who wants practical experience and portfolio-worthy work.

This internship includes two possible tracks, depending on your availability and strengths:

Track 1 — Creative & Marketing (Remote / Hybrid)

You will work on:

• Social media content (Instagram, visuals, captions, campaigns)
• Marketing ideas and execution (not just brainstorming)
• Visual assets (basic design, layouts, presentations)
• Research and creative support for gallery projects
• Helping shape how the gallery communicates and presents itself

This track is flexible and can be done remotely.

Track 2 — Gallery Operations (On-Site — Summer Priority)

We are prioritizing candidates who can take on real responsibility inside the gallery during the summer.

You will work on:

• Opening and managing the gallery during scheduled hours
• Welcoming visitors and handling basic interactions
• Supporting daily operations and maintaining the space
• Assisting with artwork presentation and organization

You may be responsible for running the gallery independently during certain hours.

Requirements for this track:

• Ability to be physically present in Millburn, NJ
• Availability during summer months (June–August)
• Reliability and comfort working independently

Important

You can apply for either track.
However, priority will be given to candidates available for the on-site summer role.

Skills you’ll develop and use:

• Social media content creation (Instagram)
• Basic graphic design and visual layout
• Marketing execution and campaign support
• Creative research and idea development
• Visual communication and branding basics
• Client interaction and real-world business operations

What you’ll gain:

• Hands-on experience inside a functioning art business
• Real projects you can include in your portfolio
• Direct mentorship and feedback
• Exposure to how art, branding, and business connect
• A strong reference if the collaboration goes well

Who this is for

You don’t need to know everything.

For the right fit, this internship can evolve into a longer-term collaboration.

This role is a good fit if you are:

• Curious and willing to learn
• Interested in art, marketing, design, or creative strategy
• Comfortable taking initiative with guidance
• Reliable and able to take responsibility

How to apply:

Apply through Handshake with:

• Resume
• Short cover letter (tell us why this interests you)

Important — include in your application:

• Your weekly availability (days + hours)
• How many days per week you can be physically present in the gallery
• Your availability during summer (May–September)

If you want real experience inside a working gallery, apply.
