I spent my summer interning for Christie’s in New York City where I was able to hone my research, improve my writing skills, and build relationships with art professionals across a wide spectrum of the art world.
Through my internship, I was given guided tours of art museums across the city. I lunched with diverse people working at Christie’s (including the CFO) and participated in events hosted by the esteemed auction house.
Working for a company that does more than $7 billion in art sales a year, I learned extensively about organizational and project management methodologies that I will surely apply to any future projects.
A bit of advice?
Abu Dhabi and Dubai offer plenty of internship opportunities in galleries and art institutions which is a great stepping stone for more internationally coveted positions.
