White Cube
Job Description
White Cube are offering two entry-level, full-time, paid internships (at London Living Wage) for early career professionals looking to gain experience in a commercial gallery environment and begin their career in the arts.
The Early Careers in the Arts Internship Programme offers two distinct pathways to engage in communications, press, and events, or discover the breadth of a gallery’s operations, from exhibitions to sales.
Over eight months, you’ll gain valuable skills in communications or gallery administration which can support a future career in arts, while building meaningful relationships with the team at White Cube’s London galleries.
We particularly welcome applications from people who haven’t yet had opportunities to work in the art world. While a demonstrable interest and some knowledge of contemporary art and the White Cube programme are critical, we don’t expect you to have an art world network already, as this internship has been developed to help you build one.
Job Requirements
Pathway 1:
Communications, Press and Events A critical aspect of working in a Communications department involves reading, summarising, distributing and organising press coverage, as well as researching trends, platforms, writers and publications.
This pathway focuses on gaining administrative experience in these areas in a dynamic Communications office responsible for promoting the White Cube brand, exhibitions and the gallery’s internationally renowned artists, via announcements, exhibitions and fairs globally.
Pathway 2:
Sales, Gallery Operations and Exhibitions
This pathway offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience across three essential areas of White Cube’s day-to-day activities: Primary and Secondary sales, Registrars and Gallery Operations, and Exhibitions. From supporting VIP clients during Frieze Week to assisting with exhibition planning and artist research, you’ll develop a comprehensive understanding of how a major commercial gallery operates.
