An internship at Lansing Art Gallery & Education Center is a work experience that combines learning and career exploration in a professional work environment. Students gain hands-on experience and learn new skills relating to work in a nonprofit arts organization. We are proud that over the past several years, Lansing Art Gallery and Education Center interns have transitioned into career opportunities including: the Flint Institute of Arts, Art Train, Detroit Institute of Arts, and fine art galleries in Boston and Los Angeles. We believe that students benefit from their work at the gallery and education center and look forward to providing a mutually rewarding experience.
