Indepth Arts News: "Call for Artists: Ansel Adams Internship" 2007-04-12 until 2007-04-23 Center for Creative Photography Tucson, AZ, USA
This program was established to recognize the unique contributions of Ansel Adams (1902-1984), who participated in the founding of the Center for Creative Photography in 1975. His archive is a cornerstone of the Center‚s large collection of photographic archives. Support for the internship has been generously provided by the Polaroid Corporation and the Ansel Adams Endowment. Each academic year since 1987 the Center has offered a paid internship to qualified University of Arizona graduate students. This opportunity allows students to experience a wide variety of museum and archive activities and to gain experience working under the supervision of Center staff. Depending on student interest and current Center needs an internship is designed each year for a specific project. Past interns have been assigned to work with Center staff in the curatorial, education, archives, and digital scanning areas.
Eligibility
Open only to full-time University of Arizona graduate students with at least a 3.5 GPA (Board of Regents requirement). Students may be pursuing graduate degrees in any discipline, but must have evidenced sufficient interest in the fields of photography, art history, art education, archives, or museum studies to indicate that an internship at the Center would support their educational goals.
Application process
Submit a letter of interest indicating educational background, relevant personal accomplishments, and educational and professional goals. The most important component of this letter is a clear statement of the effect an internship would have on achievement of the candidate‚s goals.
