In order to increase diversity in the professions related to museums and the visual arts and provide support for local organizations, the Getty Foundation annually offers funding to Los Angeles-area museums and visual arts organizations for summer multicultural undergraduate internships.

The internships are intended specifically for outstanding students who are members of groups currently underrepresented in these professions — individuals of African American, Asian, Latino/Hispanic, Native American, and Pacific Islander descent.

Museums of all types and nonprofit visual arts organizations of any size that are located in Los Angeles County are eligible to apply. Applicants must have nonprofit 501(c)(3) status.

Eligible applicants may request support for one to three full-time internship positions, each with a salary of $3,500, for a consecutive ten-week period between June and August 2010. In addition to these salaries, organizations will receive $500 per internship to assist with administrative costs.

Internships should be designed to offer eligible students experience in key areas such as curatorship, conservation, education, publications, and related programmatic activities.
