Deadline: Ongoing
Baxter St at the Camera Club of New York, founded originally as The Camera Club of New York in 1884, is one of New York’s oldest arts organizations, providing lens-based artists with both working facilities and platforms for discussions as they develop their practice. In 2014, the organization moved to 126 Baxter St and adopted the new name, Baxter St at the Camera Club of New York. Also known as Baxter St, the organization reinvigorated a new wave of influence and impact through which the organization’s profile aligns with the mission to support, foster, and innovate contemporary dialogues around the medium and practice of photography and other lens-based arts. Baxter St continues to provide a workspace for both darkroom and digital lab access, as well as a range of programming from exhibitions to conversations series to a residency program.
An intern at Baxter St will take on the tasks of the day and help run Baxter St smoothly. Interns are highly
responsible, organized, and detail-oriented. Must be friendly, professional and excited to learn and
help direct Baxter St’s mission to foster a strong community. As an Intern, you will be immersed in gallery
life and will work with the Program Manager and Coordinator and Executive Director on various projects.
You will also work with the Program Coordinator and social media consultant to plan, create, and execute
Baxter St’s social media and marketing.
This internship will be on-site at Baxter St Gallery. The gallery hours are Tuesday – Saturday, 12pm – 6pm
so we are looking for someone who is passionate about photography and available during those hours.
