HAVE YOU APPLIED FOR A GETTY OR LA
COUNTY ARTS SUMMER INTERNSHIP YET?
As
highlighted in a previous Internship Newsletter,
Desiree Ramirez did a 10-week Getty internship with
the Catalina Island
Museum last summer. Now, for THIS summer,
Desiree has landed a great summer internship with
the Vincent Price Museum at East Los Angeles
College! She will be making sure everything is
catalogued, organized and stored correctly for their
move to the new museum they are building on campus.
As a Getty alumni involved in museum work, she
applied for and received a scholarship to attend the
2010 American Association of Museums Annual Meeting
& Museum Expo to be held in Los Angeles on May 23 -
26. This is where museum
professionals go to learn, share, connect with
colleagues and have fun! The
scholarship includes hotel stay, travel expenses,
meeting registration and a one-year membership to
the American Association of Museums (AAM).
Way to go, Desiree!!
We would
like to know if any other WC students are doing a
Getty or LA County Arts Commission internship, so if
you are doing one of these internships, please let
us know in the Internship Office!
