Art Collections Cataloguing Intern
Paid Summer Internship – Seattle, WA
Whether unique public art, new cultural spaces, travelling collections or world-class events – Vulcan and Paul Allen believe the greatest value of art is created when it is shared widely. Art helps us see the world a little differently, and can provide a fresh sense of possibility, and even purpose. Vulcan is working to share great art with communities in unique ways and to build the Pacific Northwest into a hub of world-class collections, museums and art programs.
The Art Collections Cataloguer Intern will assist with cataloguing, image scanning and data entry of pop culture photographic and archival materials in the private art collection.
