INTERNS

The LAKMA is a laboratory for education, dedicated to mentoring the next generation of museum professionals. Our interns are organized, creative, and motivated students looking to gain insight into how a contemporary art museum operates. Internships are generally unpaid, but offer the opportunity to build professional skills and relationships with experienced museum mentors.

The media intern assists in all aspects of the internet department’s upkeep and production of the LAKMA's website, videos and social media outlets. The interns are an integral part of the online team, assisting with online fundraising, candidate web features, and interactive tools. The media interns work closely with the internet department, manager, and volunteers.
