Art Internships Abroad

Arts Internship Programs

Cutting edge Contemporary Art Galleries in Spain and endlessly creative art co-ops in Oaxaca, Mexico, shadowing freelance photographers, working on street murals in Chile. The scope of placements is like the sector itself: varied and limited only by our own boundaries of imagination. Requirements for this sector include some past experience in art and some level of Spanish, low intermediate or higher.

Calling All Artists and Art Enthusiasts! This is your chance to gain international internship experience & live abroad.

We feel that any art platform will be enhanced when the artist creating it has international experiences. Intern for both independent and larger galleries, being a docent if your Spanish is good enough.

For hands-on artwork, some of our programs include interns assisting a photographer, sculptor, or textile worker in Spain or Latin America. A front office favorite is our Arts Education placements which enable an artist to both create and teach, working with children in after-school settings or in nonprofits offering coursework to underserved populations. (A past candidate painted a mural on a Chilean alley wall with a group of at-risk teenagers as a final internship project. The mural is still there today!) Almost all of the cities where Adelante Abroad operates offer Arts internships of some sort. We guarantee an international art internship will give you the career and travel experience of a lifetime.

“I’ve been so busy! But in a good way 🙂 My first internship week was filled with events. I haven’t really made any new friends with coworkers since the internship is online but I like my boss Javier and I enjoy interacting with people at the events, and I’ve been able to socialize with other students from Eureka.”
