University Graduate Internship Program
As part of the gallery’s ongoing commitment to art education and professional art industry training we take one outstanding intern every year for a period of at least six months training.
In the normal course of events the intern would be allocated a project to work on under the supervision of a department head. The intern will receive practical experience to compliment their academic achievements and will be expected to attend our art education program.
There are a number of broad areas in which to work including Aboriginal art, Australian art, education and publications, client liaison and information technology.
It is expected that applicants will have at least a Masters degree in Art History & Theory or an equivalent qualification in another discipline. We encourage applicants with strong managerial instincts and a solid practical skills base. In the past applicants from a legal or business consultancy background have proved particularly successful.
Those interested should send their CV with a covering letter outlining what they want to receive out of the program to— info@michaelreid.com.au
2008 Intern
Inspired by the experience of our previous intern, Cyrielle, Claire Thouard contacted Aboriginal Art Manager Solenne Ducos-Lamotte through the French Edhec Business School Alumni network. From January to September 2008 she will undertake an internship as the gallery’s Aboriginal art department assistant.
Fond of theatre and keen to learn more about the art sector, Claire also loves to travel and has visited Canada and Japan. Being in Australia will enable her to explore a new culture and to get closer to her French Polynesian childhood roots.
As part of her gap year during a three-year programme at Edhec Business School, Claire has already worked for six months in an event organisation agency in Paris where she organised and managed seminars, conventions and gala dinners
2007 Interns
An intern in the Aboriginal Art department, Cyrielle Mottin first came into contact with the gallery via an Aboriginal viewing for the French Edhec Business School Alumni network.
Cyrielle is enrolled in a three-year program at Edhec Business School and expects to graduate in a year’s time. She has already had several work placements in the arts including summer internships in French movie distribution and production companies and she recently organised a Short Film Festival with her student union.
Before undertaking her last university year as an exchange student in Shanghai, Cyrielle is taking a gap year to gain practical experience in various arts related areas. This started with an insight into the press industry by working as part of the Paris marketing and sales team for Télérama, a well-known French cultural magazine. Next came the decision to come to Australia where she is discovering what happens ‘behind the scenes’ at an art gallery as she assists with the day to day management of the gallery at at Elizabeth Bay.
