AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

The Getty Foundation is pleased to announce that applications for 2011 Multicultural Undergraduate Internship (MUI) grants to museums and visual arts organizations are available. Since its inception in 1993, the MUI program has supported more than 2,200 internships in Los Angeles-area museums and visual arts organizations. The program aims to increase diversity in the professions related to the visual arts, and to provide programmatic support for local organizations.

The internships are intended specifically for outstanding students who are members of groups currently underrepresented in the museum and visual arts professions: individuals of African American, Asian, Latino/Hispanic, Native American and Pacific Islander descent.

Art in Odd Places offers two internship positions with amazing leadership
opportunities:
-Manager of Development
-Assistant Director

Art in Odd Places (AiOP) is a non-profit public art project based in New
York City exploring connections between public spaces, pedestrian traffic,
and ephemeral transient interventions. For the past 7 years, AiOP has
presented a large-scale festival each year with an all volunteer staff.

Art in Odd Places aims to stretch the boundaries of communication in the
public realm by presenting artworks in all disciplines outside the confines
of traditional public space regulations. AiOP reminds us that public spaces
function as the epicenter for diverse social interactions and the unfettered
exchange of ideas.
