Communication
You have a flair for social media and an ardent passion for art and culture. Perhaps you are studying in the fields of journalism, communications or media science, eyeing for an opportunity to put theory into praxis. As an intern with CHART’s Communication team you would help with the preparation and publication of new editorial and promotional content via newsletters, SoMe and our website, as well as editing press releases and assisting journalists and other media professionals.
Programming
You will play an integral role in planning and executing CHART’s art fair, book fair, as well as our extensive programme of talks, performances, guided tours etc. You might be studying creative business management, visual culture or art history. Attention to detail and professionalism is key as you will be engaging with local and international curators, artists, and our partner organisations. Areas of work include assisting with research, managing materials from collaborators as well as planning and executing talks and events during CHART 2023.
VIP
You are excited about connecting collectors, galleries, art professionals, and institutions from across the Nordic and international art scene at CHART. You are motivated to create an intimate and welcoming atmosphere at large-scale events and are happy to accomodate guests’ needs before, during, and after the fair. Strong attention to detail and a problem-solving mentality are essential to have when you engage with VIPs and partners. As an intern on the VIP team, you will assist in all aspects of the VIP strategy, including event planning, communication, and database management, developing an advantageous professional network along the way.
