Interns at the Pushkin Museum's youth wing "Pushkinsky.Youth"

"Pushkinsky.Youth" is looking for Interns.

"Pushkinsky.Youth" is the youth wing of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, which since 2019 has united all special events and projects for those aged 14 to 22: the Club of Young Art Critics and other programs on art history and familiarization with professions in the cultural sphere, creative laboratories, youth internships, workshops, projects that participants create together with museum specialists, and a free youth co-working space.

• Writing, fact-checking, and editing texts for posts on the wing's social media
• Design tasks for youth wing projects
• Administrative work (including simple document management)
• Organizing internal events and assisting in the organization of New Year's events at the museum
• Assisting in coordinating the museum's volunteer program
• Decorating the Pushkinsky.Youth space
• And much, much more that arises during the work process

Important: the team does not engage in scientific research or exhibition organization.

They are looking for people interested in:

• Organizing community work
• A large volume of oral and written communication
• Not-too-serious conversations about art
• Museum educational projects for youth and their promotion

• The internship lasts 10 weeks within a 3-month period between November 18 and January 27. The team asks interns to spend 15-20 hours per week on-site (individual tasks can be done remotely)
• The internship is NOT paid and is legally considered a volunteer program
• The team has general meetings once a week, and you are expected to attend them at Museion. Meetings are held on Fridays at 17:00

What you get in return:

• They teach you everything they know themselves and try to introduce you to all available and interesting specialists
• In addition: free museum entry, the opportunity to attend all events
• Upon completion of the internship, you will receive a recommendation. Currently, there are no open vacancies at the museum, but the museum recommends its interns to colleagues when opportunities arise
