• Internship Program

    • Internships + Fellowships provide opportunities to acquire practical experience in a small arts organization by working closely with staff members on projects and assisting in daily operational duties. Interns/Fellows work on focused assignments within departments of their interest: curatorial, communications, development and education. In addition, interns/fellows are given the opportunity to learn about each department in greater detail through scheduled informational appointments with staff or through staff presentations.

      The Drawing Center offers, in accordance with New York State's minimum wage for 2025 in New York City, an hourly wage of $16.50 for hours worked up to 20 hours per week, an initiative towards fair and equitable compensation for interns/fellows.
