Student Spotlight

“I am excited to help run the Art Cart here at the Weatherspoon Art Museum this summer. I get to give young people our Grab & Go take-home art projects and share information about in-museum activities. I love greeting and welcoming families as they come into the museum and greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with the wonderful Weatherspoon staff to provide chances for kids to create their own art.”

“I am a student intern in the registrar’s office where I help care for and document the art in collections and exhibitions. I enjoy working at the Weatherspoon Art Museum because of the wonderful people who take pride in all they do and share their passion for our contemporary art collection.”

“I am an undergraduate museum assistant. This is my first internship experience and so far it has allowed me to gain new skills and knowledge every day. Everyone here is kind and I don’t mind sitting a couple of feet away from brilliant works of art.”
