Klimt02 is offering students of Master's or Bachelor's degrees the opportunity to undertake internships for a period of 4 to 6 months; the exact time will be agreed upon with the applicant.
The selected candidates for this announcement will start from January 2026 or from July 2026. But other dates are open to discussion. Book your place!
Work at Klimt02 isn’t bench work, and most of the time will be spent in front of a computer/thinking. For this role, it is essential to have an interest in and a strong background in fine arts, as well as a solid understanding of how the industry operates. This is also a theoretical role. We work with databases, contact artists, discuss new publication methods, and manage our social media accounts.
Department directors of the schools are welcome to contact us to establish an official and regular agreement.
