Internships

I just sent off my resume as well as cover letters to two different organizations today. It marks the beginning of the long list of emails I will send over the course of the next month to galleries and museums for internships this summer. It is going to be so much work I makes me a little sick to my stomach but I know if I just sit down and concentrate I can get a lot accomplished.

I got pretty lucky with my internship I had last summer. I was the only one who applied! It was a great internship. I had to set up two summer art camps for children. The kids were hilarious, snobby, weird, and awesome all at the same time. We learned about 'outsider art' and did many activities that pertained to outsider art. I also learned what outsider art is. We all won.

One of the internships I sent my resume to is another summer art camp with kids, right down my alley! The other has to do more with putting together exhibits. Also, right down my alley. If there was some way to do both I absolutely would. I love kids and I love art galleries.

Over the next few months I am probably going to be facing a lot of rejection, which is going to hurt but if I start mentally preparing now it will soften the blows! I'll be ok.

Until tomorrow,

Caroline
