Students are a vital part of the Tufts University Art Galleries' staffing. Several paid and volunteer opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students exist at both our Medford and Boston locations to get involved and are open to any student, regardless of major. Work study students are given preference, whenever feasible. Students interested in working in the museum field, or the art world more broadly speaking, receive excellent professional development experience.
The Art Galleries offer up to three one-year Fellowship opportunity to current graduate students in the History of Art, Museum Studies or Master of Fine Arts programs. Fellows develop research and writing for upcoming exhibitions, catalogue and update the Permanent Collection database, and work with visiting artists. Fellowships begin each September and conclude in August of the following year. Please send inquiries and applications to Kaelynn Maloney.
