Practica
The Art Centre's exceptional collections and exhibitions offer graduate students in art history at the Department of Art a unique opportunity to acquire valuable museum experience through the Agnes Etherington Art Centre Practicum (ARTH-880/0.5). The course consists of a research project and assigned museum practice activities. The research project will be developed in consultation with the supervising curator and will be related to the Art Centre's permanent collection or programming. The Practicum requires that the student work on-site at the Art Centre for 10 hours per week. Students be encouraged to contact their advisors for application details.
Interships
The Art Centre also welcomes proposals from undergraduates in the Department of Art seeking internships through ARTH-395/0.5.
