College
Explore the Park, wander the galleries, and find your place at the NCMA through in-person and virtual activities planned by our College Advisory Council.
Through juried exhibitions, internship opportunities, and peer-led activities, college students across the state can express themselves and gain valuable experience.
Internships
College students and recent graduates benefit from interning at the NCMA by learning and contributing to the work of an art museum.
NCMA Student Guides
In this program NC college students learn about the art collection, train with NCMA staff and docents, and give tours to the public. Student guides create a welcoming experience for all and inspire creativity and connection through the arts. Includes monthly trainings and opportunities to be student guides at Museum events, intergenerational tours with docents, and mini tours through the Art on the Dot: Students program on select Fridays.
