Step Seven: Internships

Ideas for Internships
For fine artists, internships such as working in a gallery, museum, non-profit institution are very valuable to understand the business side of making art and selling it. Working for an artist as a studio assistant is also a very valuable experience. It may open doors for you that would other wise be inaccessible. While you are working in any internship use the experience to expand your career and social network.

Improve your life. Get a degree.
Volunteering
Another great way to expand your net work is to volunteer at art institutions and organizations that you esteem. This is another way of getting to know people who can help you and contributing to your art community.

I'm in Australia, and we don't have Internships. Sounds like a really great idea, though.

I am learning photography from my boyfriend who is a professional photographer, but we differ in our taste of photography. He does more people and I enjoy animals and nature. I would like to intern with someone that does my kind of photography. Let me know..thanks.
