¹û½´ÊÓƵ

The Rubin Center is a dynamic training ground for future arts professionals. ¹û½´ÊÓƵ students actively participate in organizing, mounting, marketing, and educating audiences about exhibitions, assuring that the galleries are intellectually and visually stimulating places to visit. Our campus is a uniquely bilingual and bicultural environment, and students bring their unique talents and diverse perspectives to our exhibitions, programming, education and outreach.

Paid Professional Internships

At the heart of the Rubin Center’s work is a team of talented undergraduate interns who are in paid professional positions that complement their studies across disciplines and prepare them for future careers in the arts and beyond. On average the Rubin Center employs between 6-8 ¹û½´ÊÓƵ undergraduates in part-time internships in areas as diverse as graphic design, visitors’ services, educational outreach, curatorial support, marketing and social media, video production and image management. Students work under professional staff mentors in collaborative teams and have the opportunity to engage with visiting artists, participate in professional training and development, and create resumes and portfolios that make them competitive for employment and advanced degree programs upon graduation.
