College
Join in the Fun
Explore the Museum Park, wander the galleries, and connect with students from other campuses at the annual fall College Night planned by our College Advisory Council. Through juried exhibitions and internship opportunities, students across the state can express themselves and gain valuable experience with the North Carolina Museum of Art.
Internships
College students and recent graduates benefit from interning at the NCMA by learning and contributing to the work of an art museum.
Application deadline for spring semester is October 1, 2019.

Park Pictures
The NCMA invites college students to submit original works for our Park Pictures billboard competition. The theme of this year’s competition is “interior worlds,” in reference to the exhibition Candida Höfer in Mexico, on view October 6, 2018–January 6, 2019. Höfer’s photographic work focuses on grand interior spaces, but a diverse and creative interpretation of the idea of interior space is encouraged. This could include real, imagined, physical, mental, or emotional space. All mediums are welcome.
Submission deadline is June 16, 2018.
