James E. Lieber Art History Internship Fund
Established in 2019 by James E. Lieber ’84, and awarded by the Art History Program, the Lieber Art History Internship Fund provides grant support to Art History majors or minors for summer work experience as rising juniors and seniors through unpaid or underpaid internships with non-profit visual arts-related institutions in the United States or abroad, such as museums, cultural foundations, collections, publications, and visual arts education programs.
The Fund has two branches:
1) support for internships secured independently by eligible students. Click here for additional details and application instructions.
2) support for a Wesleyan-sponsored Peggy Guggenheim Collection Internship in Venice, Italy. Click here for details and a description of the program along with application instructions.
