Intern Information

Spend your summer participating in an artists' community. Develop new skills, live, work with artists from around the world, and work on your own art projects, on a farm 2 miles from the Platte River in rural Nebraska.

Here is some general information about Art Farm's intern program and what is offer and requested in return:

Art Farm's program for interns offers farmhouse accommodation and a small workspace to pursue their artwork. We ask for 25 hours assistance per week from interns to help renovate and maintain Art Farm's buildings and grounds and assist the artists-in-residence. Interns need to be self-motivated and resourceful and to appreciate a quiet working environment —if you need an active social life, this may not be for you. Art Farm's location is semi-isolated and rural and because of this condition, co-operation and an ability to share tasks are required.
