Did you know 577 offers internship opportunities throughout the year to undergraduate and graduate students? Each semester we welcome one or two college students who are looking to expand on their chosen field of study, develop important professional leadership skills, and flex their creative muscles.
Our interns are responsible for moderating in-person and online classes, installing each month’s StoryWalk book, and managing the Welcome Center & Curiosity Shop. Each intern also has the opportunity to develop one or two community classes that they teach on-site, and some of our past interns have taken on the task of completing a special project.
Over the last two years, our program interns have taught classes in painting, screenprinting, drawing, papermaking, watercolors, printmaking, and embroidery. Special projects have included the Joyful Emergence Origami Butterfly project and the Earth Day project (painting of Virginia using recycled materials) that was completed by our Spring 2022 intern, Esther Dolatowski, that is currently on display in the Welcome Center.
This fall, 577 welcomed two students from the DAAP (University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning) program, Mason Deane and John Baldwin. Registration is open for their classes in October and November (click the class name below to read the full class description and to register):
