Athens has long established itself as a multi-faceted and lively arts destination. Alongside the crumbling ruins of the famous Ancient Acropolis comes beautiful sculptures, mosaics, and churches lined with colorful frescoes. Interns are given the opportunity to shadow, assist and learn from well known artists as they go about their day to day work within their respective field. Because the scope of this internship is so broad, the nature of each internship will vary. Examples of internship field may include (but aren’t limited to):

• Sculpture
• Micromosaics
• Ecclesiastic Iconography & Frescoes
• Art Preservation & Conservation

Restoration work may include assistance with preparation of materials and (depending on the level of an intern’s expertise) assistance with performing restoration work. For any projects related to new artwork, interns can assist to prepare materials, tools, learn techniques and methods, help the artist, and potentially also apply learned techniques on their own (such as learning some basic marble sculpture skills, for example). For interns that spend time with galleries, this may include administrative tasks as well.

Interns must have a genuine interest in fine arts and a commitment to both observation and hands-on involvement in the design and production of art pieces. Applicants are encouraged to include any relevant experience, skills or areas of interest in their application in order for their internship to be designed to best suit.
