The Children’s Museum of Art: Art Administration & Education intern

Working as an intern at The Children’s Museum of Art I was surrounded by a diverse community of colleagues and students that advanced my perception of art. I assisted with the development of projects while keeping in mind the diverse age groups of students touring the museum. While maintaining a professional manner I strived to create an inviting environment for children as the internship intersected art administration and art education. I learned to prioritize information based on importance while researching other children’s programs based in Manhattan. This internship developed my critical thinking and ability to teach in a gallery space. Because this was specifically a children’s museum, I learned to adjust my speech based on the age of the tour group and any requests the specific school may have had. The Children’s Museum of Art developed my ability to work with diverse groups of students in the context of art and develop excitement towards creation while educating.
