Liz Stringer Curatorial Internship
Liz Stringer Curatorial internship was established in 2016 as an opportunity for aspiring curators to:

develop skills and experience across the wide range of activities that take place in a busy public art gallery
contribute new perspectives, connections and appreciation of portraiture to the Gallery
The Internship is part-time (approx. 10 hours a week) for approximately for 7 months starting in May and ending in December and is supported by a stipend generously donated by Liz Stringer.
Applicants must have a tertiary qualification in art history, museum studies, fine arts or a related subject, or have relevant equal experience.
