I liked the relaxed environment of working in the art museum. I also really liked how much feedback I received on my work because it allowed me to improve my craft. I was majoring in Graphic Design at the time and I was interning there to help with their promotional posters and flyers.
What I wish was different
I wish I had more time to be at the museum on site. Because I was interning during the school year, I had to work around my class schedule. I think interning in the summer would have been more beneficial.
Advice
Take in as much as you can. I was a graphic design intern but I learned about more than just design while at my internship. I got to see the behind the scenes of an art museum and it was really interesting!

Graphic Design Intern
January - May 2019 • Terre Haute, IN
What I liked
I liked how I got a lot of positive feedback as well as feedback on things that I could improve upon when I submitted work. I liked being able to take the feedback and make things look better.
What I wish was different
I wish that I could be there more to work. Trying to come in extra throughout the week was tough because of scheduling.
Advice
Learn as much as you can and take in as much as you can. Working in a museum was interesting because you got to see a lot of “behind the scenes” things happening. I was a graphic design intern but my supervisors were head of community engagement and curatorial staff so I learned a lot more than just graphic design. Ask questions too!
