The museum is currently only offering internships in Marketing/Public Relations, Membership, Events, and Administration. Please check back often.

Although interns are assigned to a specific department, Laguna Art Museum endeavors to expose its interns to the complete inner-workings of the museum. Thus interns will participate in various projects interdepartmentally and have the opportunity to actively observe and participate in many areas of the museum’s operations.

“The museum only shifts exhibitions once every few months, but no two days here feel the same. As an intern under the Curator of Collections/Registrar, I learned the importance of juggling various tasks every day, often simultaneously. From researching and cataloging to hands-on experience with works of art, my experiences here have been both diverse and essential to understanding the inner workings of the museum world.” ~ Amanda P.

“My time here has meant more to me than anyone would know. I started with the notion that interning would simply look good on a resume, and left with a passion and understanding of the art world that would not have been possible without the outstanding employees at Laguna Art Museum.” ~ Dane S.
