Call for Internship Applications

Elza Kayal gallery is seeking an intern for the winter/spring of 2024. The intern would be able to gain experience in different aspects of operating a gallery such as writing press releases, preparing curatorial projects, corresponding with artists and doing research on contemporary artists. Responsibilities will also include putting together small exhibition catalogs for online archive, preparing events and helping during the openings.

The gallery does not have the budget to pay for the intern, but in exchange offers the opportunity to create their first curatorial project. They can hand in two curatorial proposals, and after evaluation the gallery will choose one to be shown in the gallery. The gallery will provide its space for 3-4 weeks for this exhibition.

Strong writing skills needed, curiosity in the arts and fluency in the use of photoshop and illustrator and social media are necessary. The gallery’s culture is non-hierarchical and we are looking for someone who is not shy to initiate ideas. The days can be flexible, but on the days of openings (once a month) the intern is needed.

Please, send your resume, cover letter and an art-focused writing sample no longer than five pages to Eniko Imre at info@elzakayal.com, with “Internship Application” in the subject line.
