PDX internship opportunities
HI all-
I suspect that you do not often check the many great links or blogs that I have deposited on the right side column of this blog. For shame.
The following comes from the YU link. If you remember, when we were at NewSpace we met the gentleman who is responsible for their fundraising. If you don't know what YU is, look it up!!
For those of you with the inclination, and who plan to be in the PDX area... you might give any of these consideration.

Internship Opportunities
The Yale Union Internship program provides an opportunity to be involved in the development and execution of a progressive and engaged contemporary arts program. The internship is designed to offer in-depth training and first-hand experience to those interested in pursuing a role in the fields of curating, exhibition production, or arts administration. Internships are usually a glimpse-behind-the-curtain-exercise, a classic look but don’t touch scenario, a time of gluey lips and stamp-lickage. At YU, interns touch, smudge documents, and activate projects. From the gate, interns feel the implosion of work, swift responsibility, and a steep learning curve. The position is ideal for a recent college graduate, or MA/MFA level student (not mandatory), with interests in non-profit arts organizations and an existing engagement with contemporary art. The post is for a four-month period (with possibility to extend if appropriate), and requires a minimum commitment of two days per week. Yale Union offers internships in the following areas:
Curatorial/Research Internship
YU will consider applicants who demonstrate exceptional research and writing skills as well as a strong interest in contemporary art and architecture. The Curatorial Research Intern will work directly with YU’s curator and curatorial assistant to conduct extensive research associated with YU’s upcoming exhibitions, as well as commissioned projects and publications.
Development Internship
Want to know how art gets funded? Gain valuable insight into the Pacific Northwest’s fundraisers and grant makers by working behind the scenes to support our projects. All the while, develop a sense of how a small non-profit operates. Interns will work closely with the Development Department on various long- and short-term projects including fundraising, event planning, and corporate sponsorships. Experience all stages of the donor prospecting process: discuss projects with curators, research potential corporate, foundation, and individual supporters, draft text and design proposals, and coordinate grant schedules and materials. Get acquainted with Portland’s social scene researching and planning events and representing YU. Assist with Board of Director relations and planning. And rack up impressive skills for any future career in the arts or the non-profit sector, including database knowledge and specialized research. This internship is particularly appropriate for recent graduates interested in getting a broad overview of a non-profit arts organization, and graduate students in Arts Administration/Public Administration/Non-profit Management programs wishing to gain relevant experience. Organized, upbeat, and motivated interns who are looking to explore their interest in the arts are encouraged to apply.
Preparator Internship
Want to learn how exhibitions get realized? With several projects in production at any given time, you will gain experience in the various stages of the production process from initial to final presentation stage while working with the Curator and Director. While specific tasks vary per project, you will conduct research (e.g. sourcing and pricing, installation research), assist in the workshop, and attend curatorial meetings, with the opportunity for active participation. Interns showing a healthy commitment and particular aptitude may be assigned special design and build-out projects.
Research
If you are a method nerd with questions about how art institutions are formed, grow, and respond to their environments, then this internship is for you. You will develop research questions and research methods with the Deputy Director, and build a portfolio of research findings to support the growth of YU.
How to Apply:
Please send a cover letter, resume, and writing sample (no more than three pages) to coordinator@yaleunion.org
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
