For the upcoming Fall 2025, the Brandywine Museum of Art seeks undergraduate or graduate students with an interest in American art for paid experiential learning opportunities. Through practical museum training, hands-on projects, off-site field trips, and networking opportunities, interns will prepare for careers in the museum field.
For the Museum’s upcoming fall exhibition, Jerrell Gibbs: No Solace in the Shade, we are looking to two paid, part-time Education interns to support programs and interpretive materials.
The Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art is committed to increasing the diversity of our internship cohort and encourage applications from those who are members of groups currently and historically underrepresented in museum staff. We strongly encourage students who identify as Black or African American, Hispanic or Latinx, American Indian or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, or two or more races, LBGTQIA+, individuals with disabilities, and/or those who are first-generation college students.
Application Deadlines
Applications for the Fall 2025 internships are due by midnight on Sunday, July 20, 2025. The reviewing and interview process will take place in late July and early August, and interns will be notified of selections by mid-August for a mid-September start. The internship is part-time, 20 hours per week for the fall semester with the possibility of extension. The pay rate is $12 an hour. Interns may also seek course credit, with further discussion and arrangements between their university and our staff.
