INTERN WITH ART JAMEEL

Hayy Jameel is delighted to support the next generation of art professionals by providing internship opportunities to applicants currently enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programmes, and recent graduates committed to a career in the arts.

Our highly competitive internships are awarded based on merit, expertise and a rigorous interview process.

Interns can expect to receive training in social media, public speaking and communication, networking, and creative research; participate in regular review and mentorship meetings; and attend art events and talks. The experience should provide insight into working in a community arts organisation and career opportunities within arts and culture, and enable the mapping of local and international partners and opportunities.

Interns will focus on one aspect of our work, and be paired with a senior member of the team for the entirety of their internship. The tracks that interns may work in are: Curation, Collection & Exhibition; Library and Research; Administration; Events; Arts Education; Graphic Design; Social Media, Marketing and Communications.
