Chico State Student Opportunities
The Turner offers opportunities for Chico State undergraduate and graduate students to gain hands-on museum experience through internships, gallery sitter positions, and volunteer opportunities.
Internships
Love art and museums? Apply for an internship at the Turner! Interns gain hands-on museum experience in curatorial research, exhibition installation, and archival work.
This is an unpaid internship for course credit (1-3 units). The internship application is posted here on November 1st (for spring semester internships) and April 1st (for fall semester internships).
Internship applications for Spring 2025 are closed. Check back in April 2025 for the Fall 2025 application.
Gallery Sitters
Paid gallery sitting positions are available each semester to staff the Turner's front desk. Gallery sitters track visitor numbers, answer questions, and provide a friendly face to welcome visitors to the Turner.
Gallery sitter positions are posted on Handshake in November and April.
Please note: Gallery sitters must be eligible for work study.
