The Sitka Center's Intern Program began in 1993 as a way to improve service to our workshop instructors and students. In 2011, the program was changed to include a Workshop Coordinator and an Art Center Intern.

Art Center Intern

The Art Center Intern position begins in Mid-May or Mid-June and goes through Mid-August or Mid-September. (The dates are flexible to coordinate with the student's school schedule.) The Art Center Intern works on a mutually agreed upon graduate or undergraduate level internship project for three days per week. This project offers valuable experience working for an art center in the student's specific area of interest. In addition, experience in the daily operation of an art center is provided when the Art Center Intern relieves the Workshop Coordinator two days per week. (See description above in the Workshop Coordinator Description and Application.) In return for his/her work, the Art Center Intern receives housing on the Sitka Center campus, a small stipend, and the opportunity to work in our studios (as available).

The Art Center Intern has an opportunity to interact with Sitka staff and approximately 1000 students who attend workshops at Sitka during the summer program.
