The Getty Foundation is pleased to announce that applications for 2009 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 2,100 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.
