Gallery Intern - A.I.R. Gallery

Position Overview 

We are seeking motivated college interns to join the team at A.I.R. Gallery, the longest-running alternative space for women artists, this summer. Interning at A.I.R. provides an opportunity to gain experience in all aspects of managing an arts organization and gallery space.
