This includes curatorial research methodologies; exhibition writing and interpretation strategies; drafting and routing loan requests; liaising with exhibition production teams; supporting with external curators, artists, and collaborators; and assisting with donor events. In doing so, the intern will gain in-depth exposure to museum operations, while becoming familiar with ICA LA’s present and upcoming exhibitions, as well as Los Angeles’s contemporary art landscape more broadly. The intern will be directly supervised by Amanda Sroka, ICA LA Senior Curator, with support from Emilia Shaffer-Del Valle, Curatorial Associate. The internship work period will be June 9 to August 15, 2025.
