The Richard Hunt Legacy Project Internship

Loyola is in the process of working with Richard Hunt, one of the few well-recognized African American contemporary sculptors, and is looking for an intern to work on the project.  Hunt came of age as an artist at a time when few black artists in the U.S. were making careers for themselves, let alone becoming household names.  He persevered through some very tough times as the art world continuously changed from abstraction to pop to minimalism to conceptual art and back again to figuration and representation.  He and a few colleagues -- Benny Andrews, Robert Cole Scott, Mel Edwards, Betty Saar -- created a career for themselves over five decades but their stories have never been told.

Smithsonian Internships this Summer

All Smithsonian internships are real-world learning opportunities guided by a mentor. In the past, this has meant that would-be interns needed to physically travel to the Smithsonian in order to do an internship…but no longer.

Digital technology permits the Smithsonian to offer a growing number of internships that can be conducted, still with guidance from a Smithsonian mentor, online. You can be a Smithsonian Virtual Intern wherever you are.
