Mission/mandate/about the organisation
The Art and Heritage Centre recognizes the significant social, artistic, medical and nursing histories of the MUHC hospitals since 1821 in the development of Montreal, and seeks to preserve and highlight new and existing artifacts and other visual objects from this rich heritage in dedicated exhibition spaces as an integral part of the leading edge healing environment designed for patients, their families, visitors and staff at the MUHC.
The Centre exhibits the work of contemporary artists throughout the MUHC sites in both permanent and rotating galleries and stewards one of the largest public art collections in the province.
Areas of interest that can be explored through the internship
The internship opportunity involves participating in the development and production of short documentaries focused on the Art and Heritage Centre’s public art collection, in addition to working with our diverse collection of social and medical historical objects. This will provide the chance to develop strong arts administration skills, including research, documentation, and collection management. Writing didactic material, developing public engagement resources and contributing to collection maintenance are also possibilities for the intern to participate in as part of their project.
We encourage those with an interest in arts administration, critical art writing and collection management to apply. We are looking for someone with research and organization skills who is comfortable working in a hands-on environment.
