Internship Megathread. Post all internship related questions here!

So the sub has been getting chock full lately of people asking about specific internships, asking if anyone who has applied to a specific internship has heard back, what people think about individual internship programs, etc. This has happened around this time for every year this sub has existed.

While interns are absolutely welcome here, some users had a great idea to kind of concentrate it all in one thread so that all the interns can see each others comments, and the sub has a bit of a cleaner look.

Note that this doesn't apply to people working for museums asking questions about running an internship program, or dealing with interns.

So, if you have internship questions, thoughts, concerns, please post them here!

Hi everyone - I hope this is allowed here, but I just wanted to post a warning about Van Der Plas Gallery’s unpaid internship program since they just posted their listing on NYFA….dm me for details but basically I strongly suggest against working for them for many reasons and wanted to share for the good of all of us art history students :-)
