Artist Legacy Coalition Summer Internship – Summer 2026 

The Artist Legacy Coalition offers a paid, nine-week summer internship for undergraduate students in the visual arts and related humanities fields, based primarily in the greater New York City area. Designed around the principles of experiential learning, mentorship, and equity, the program provides students with meaningful, hands-on experience within leading artist-centered foundations. Interns work closely with arts professionals on projects that bridge archival and collections research, curatorial and publishing work, and the development of public and philanthropic initiatives—gaining direct insight into how artist legacies are preserved, interpreted, and activated across the cultural field. Weekly site visits to peer foundations, museums, and other arts organizations further extend the learning environment, building professional fluency and cross-institutional perspective. Structured reflection, cohort learning, and mentorship ensure that each intern’s work is integrated with broader educational and professional goals, fostering a sense of purpose and agency within the arts. The program builds on a national three-year pilot developed by the Aspen Institute’s Artist-Endowed Foundations Initiative (AEFI).
