‘Working at the Biennale of Sydney was an eye-opening experience; it really introduced me to the day-by-day necessities of working for a company and was an invaluable opportunity for both my personal and professional life.’
Ruari Moran, Publications Intern 2010
The Biennale of Sydney offers internships to a select number of applicants throughout the exhibition period. As Australia’s largest contemporary international art exhibition, this is a unique experience to work on a major arts festival.
An internship with the Biennale offers a valuable and worthwhile experience in the arts industry and an opportunity to contribute your knowledge and ideas. As an intern at the Biennale, you’ll be part of a small team in a stimulating and fast-paced working environment, working on projects that build on and broaden your skill set.
The Biennale welcomes students who need to complete formal internships and industry placements as part of their university or college study. Placements can be tailored to meet the needs of individual courses and we can offer written assessment where requested. Internships are similar to working as a volunteer but generally involve more in-depth work on specific projects for a longer period of time.
Please note that internship positions are not paid and the Biennale of Sydney is unable to cover any associated costs for the placement, nor arrange or pay for any travel or accommodation.
Potential roles for internship within the Biennale of Sydney include:
- Administration
- Education and Public Programs
- Exhibitions
- Marketing
- Website
Information for internship coordinators and university staff
If you are an internship coordinator or university staff member please do not hesitate to contact the Biennale for more information about regular internship placements and volunteer opportunities for your students. The Biennale does not offer insurance for industry or academic placements.
