Example remote art host organizations


Remote art interns can work with organizations across galleries, creative businesses, cultural projects, design, media, and other areas of the visual arts. The organizations featured represent examples of the types of professional environments where participants may gain experience.

Why do a remote art internship?

The art industry extends far beyond the physical gallery or studio. Artists, galleries, creative businesses, publishers, educators, and cultural organizations increasingly use digital tools to communicate with audiences, manage projects, promote artwork, and collaborate across borders.

A remote internship allows you to experience this side of the industry while developing the professional habits that matter in a virtual workplace. You'll learn how creative teams communicate online, manage deadlines, share feedback, organize digital assets, and turn ideas into finished work.

Remote work can also make an art internship more accessible. Rather than needing to relocate to a major art center, you can gain professional experience from home, a university campus, a coworking space, or another location with a reliable internet connection.

"So, this may sound a little cheesy, but the best advice I’d give someone applying for the program is to be confident in yourself and what you’ve achieved so far, including your qualifications and your skill set. As I mentioned, I wasn’t expecting to get into this program, but they’re obviously a very nice group of people who want to find people with the skills and motivation to grow professionally and personally. So, if you feel like you have that, you’re bound to be a good fit." - Abbey Billot, remote intern

"I would absolutely recommend The Intern Group. I think, as someone who hates applying for jobs or even looking for them, searching for internships is even harder. So, partnering with The Intern Group, who already has all these organisations available to you, makes the process so much easier. They’re the ones who reach out to organisations and ask if they’re interested in taking you on, set up the interviews, and take care of all those kinds of things. It’s like having an assistant who’s way more qualified than you and takes care of all the practical details. So, yeah, I absolutely would recommend The Intern Group." - Svea Fritsch, remote intern

Is a remote art internship right for you?

A remote art internship could be a good fit if you want to gain professional experience in the creative industries while maintaining the flexibility of working from your own location.

University students, recent graduates, gap year participants and career changers can all use a remote internship to develop practical skills and explore different career paths within the art industry.

It's particularly suited to people who want to gain experience alongside their studies or other commitments, or who want to build international professional connections without moving overseas.

What is it like to work as a remote art intern?

A remote art internship gives you a different perspective on the creative industry because your workplace is digital. Instead of commuting to a gallery or studio, you'll connect with your team through video calls, messaging platforms, email, and project management tools.

The flexibility of remote work means you can build your internship around your existing environment. Whether you're working from home, studying at university, or spending time in another part of the world, you can gain professional creative experience without being tied to a particular city.

At the same time, remote internships aren't simply independent projects. You'll work with your host organization and have opportunities to communicate with professionals, receive feedback, collaborate on projects, and develop your understanding of how creative teams operate in a professional setting.
