Typical roles for Madrid art internships

Here are a few examples of roles that our art interns in Spain have taken on before:

  • Designer

    Working alongside professional designers as a design intern will develop your creative skills and expand your portfolio. Gaining experience using the Adobe Creative Suite and Photoshop, will give you the chance to craft artwork for magazines, publishers and advertising agencies.

  • Gallery Assistant

    Galleries attract the influential and affluent, allowing you to expand your network greatly within the industry, and the public sphere. You will be able to communicate with artists from all walks of life during exhibitions, to ensure that their needs are met and that the purchase and subsequent sale of gallery artworks is a smooth process.

  • Art Teacher

    You will be able to shadow art teachers in high schools and colleges, along with the students. Whether you hope to run your own art classes one day, or enlighten the next generation of aspiring artists in university lecture rooms, entrenching oneself in deep learning will broaden your perspectives.

    From finding buyers to liaising with curators, this role requires great communication skills. Sourcing artwork that you feel has great sale potential, negotiating contracts, and building good relationships with artists is necessary for meeting crucial sales targets.
