Abstract

This paper examines the structure and dynamics of an internship at A Hug from the Art World, a contemporary art gallery in New York City. It provides an overview of the internship process, the learning objectives established, and the professional skills emphasized in the experience. The discussion also considers the value of a liberal arts background in developing adaptability, communication, and organizational skills that transfer effectively to professional settings. By highlighting both the practical demands of gallery work and the realities of the larger art industry, the paper situates the internship as a case study in professional development, workplace culture, and career exploration.
