Interns and Fellows

Graduate Internships

Since 1964 the National Gallery of Art has offered professional museum training to candidates from all backgrounds through a variety of internship and volunteer programs. In addition to the Gallery's paid internships and fellowships, a number of volunteer internships and research assistantships are available.

Curatorial Fellowships

The National Gallery of Art is seeking eligible candidates for the Kress Interpretive Fellowship for 2012–2013. The Kress Interpretive Fellowship aims to cultivate students and young professionals interested in museum careers, focusing on curatorial and educational collaboration.

Conservation Fellowships

Since 1983 the conservation division has offered fellowships that have enabled graduates of conservation programs to participate in the Gallery's mission to care for the collections. The program allows novice conservators to practice and refine their skills through the examination and treatment of works of art.

CASVA Fellowships

The Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts is a research institute that fosters study of the production, use, and cultural meaning of art, artifacts, architecture, and urbanism, from prehistoric times to the present. The resident community of scholars includes pre- and post-doctoral fellows, senior and visiting fellows, and research associates.
