The art world offers unique opportunities to gain experience relevant to your studies, develop your professional skills and build professional networks. At the University of Kent, museums and galleries such as Studio 3 Gallery are integral to teaching and learning.
There are different ways you can get involved. These include applying for gallery invigilation experience, doing an internship or work placement, curating, undertaking research, helping with marketing and promotion, giving talks, running workshops and contributing to our Art History blog and social media with exhibition reviews, responses and stories.
Getting involved with Studio 3 Gallery and the projects of our partners is a great way to get a taste of the art world, explore your interests and widen your career prospects. We are especially keen on curating student work and supporting students in curating their own exhibitions.
If you are interested in learning more about our Education and Professional Development initiative, as well as more information on how to apply, contact Dr Eve Kalyva (Art History) at e.m.kalyva@kent.ac.uk.
The invitation is open to students within and beyond the School of Arts, so do get in touch!
